Second Code Review for WeakReference leak in the Logging API (6942989)

[Daniel D. Daugherty]

David H. and Alan B.,

Since you two were first round code reviewers, it would be good to hear
from you guys on the second round.

Jeremy,

It would also be good to hear from you since you had also fixed this
bug in Google's code base.

At this point, I've heard from Eamonn McManus and Tony Printezis on
the second round so I have my required two reviewers, but...

Dan
