The problem is obviously ongoing, and will be able to be diagnosed without 
earlier logs. Certainly the direct cause will be diagnosable. If there's 
an indirect cause, it won't necessarily be logged in this process's log 
files.

Do you have any concrete example that illustrates the "problem". I 
wouldn't be happy to see additional complexity without strong 
justification.
