We shouldn't do that since it can lead to a recursive allocation stall situation, which eventually will cause a stack overflow. I suggest we simply don't log anything in ZStatCriticalPhase::register_start(). The useful part of the logging happens in ZStatCriticalPhase::register_end() anyway, where it's safe to access oops.
