I created a bug report to keep track of this issue: 
<http://bugzilla.wpkg.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109>

Fixes based on your proposal are available already (attached to the bug 
report):
- WPKG 1.0.2
- WPKG 1.1.0-M5

Your change have been slightly modified. It is not necessary to manually 
write to the log file as the following code will do that as well as 
appropriate (depending on log level). But re-trying to write to a 
failing event log on each log entry (and printing a message about the 
failure) is an overhead. So I remember the failing status and keep 
printing to STDOUT in addition to writing to the log file.

You could try the updated versions and report your findings to Bugzilla.

Thanks for your support and patience.
