Regarding multi-process NSPR logging, don't we just need to send the log output of child processes to a pipe that is consumed by the parent process, and then have the parent process PR_LOG() what it received with some information tacked on (child process ID)?

NSPR_LOG_FILE should NOT work for child processes anyway, because child processes aren't allowed to do disk I/O.

Cheers,
