The following test shows that the XMLFormatter.format(LogRecord) method throws
undocumented NullPointerException for a record created with the
LogRecord(Level, String) constructor if the source logger name for the record
is null.

The method throws NPE in the last implementation (Merlin-b74), but works
correctly in the Merlin-b73.

public class Test {
    final static LogManager logManager = LogManager.getLogManager();
    final static XMLFormatter formatter = new XMLFormatter();
    final static LogRecord record
        = new LogRecord(Level.INFO, "Message to XMLFormatter");

    public static void main (String args[]) {
        System.exit(95 + run(args, System.out));
    }

    public static int run(String args[], PrintStream out) {
        try {
            String s = formatter.format(record);
            out.println("# Formatted message is: ");
            out.println(s);
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            out.println("# Unexpected exception.");
            e.printStackTrace(out);
        }
        
        return 0;
    }
}
