That's what I expected. But I don't know why it would happen. A NULL val
pointer would seem to indicated a failed malloc, but for an integer it should
always use the internal buffer instead of allocating memory.

Does this still happen consistenly?

Does it happen if you use the default log format, instead of your custom one?
