Ceki,

1. Fixing this in slf4j is the only way to fix the problem for *all*
implementations, not just logback. I understand that you want to keep slf4j as
dumb as possible, but in this case I would argue that it's simply not possible.

2. Spawning separate threads for initialization is not guaranteed to fix the
problem. It might work on one machine and fail on another due to race
conditions.

3. According to JLS, variables accessed from different threads must be marked
as volatile or accessed while holding a lock. This part of the fix must be in
slf4j, not in logback.

What do you think of Ryan's proposed fix?
