Maybe I am just doing something silly, but bug 800486 seems to have broken cycle collector logging. It seems like this line is failing: NS_GetSpecialDirectory(NS_OS_TEMP_DIR, getter_AddRefs(logFile)); I seem to be returning here: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(logFile, nullptr);
Hmm, so non-shutdown logging seems to be okay, it is just putting it in an annoying directory: /Users/amccreight/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/cc-edges.49948-1.log
That's basically an NSPR bug. Maybe on shutdown we can't even do NS_GetSpecialDirectory.

Yeah, if it is just on shutdown, it isn't a big deal. I can work around it. I was mostly worried about getting user reports. Though that directory is lame. ;)

This really needs to be fixed, as it is a pain.

Here's a new twist on this problem... shutdown CC logging now trips shutdown write poisoning...
Filed bug 837197 for the write poisoning issue.
Bill says MOZ_CC_LOG_DIRECTORY works, so that's probably a better option than my patch here.
