Well, I think you're right regarding this issue. However to log events
to any facility (STDERR, log file, event log...) you have to rely on
certain system resources and API calls. I will try to improve the error
handling as much as possible and try establish the following priority:
- log to event log
- log to log file if event log throws an exception
- log to STDOUT/STDERR if even logfile writing fails
