New issue 18319 by yoav.zilberberg: A possible(!) Logical bug in logging.cc  
(on a rare case)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18319

If you look at 'InitializeLogFileHandle' in logging.cc
you will see that you have a special case that handles a default log file
name if none was specified

if (!log_file_name)
....

now, while i don't know who might call this function before the logging
file name is established, if someone would, then it will not work on vista
as if(!) you installed the chrome via the google pack, it will sit in the
Program files folder, which under vista is a non writetable folder unless
the user is elevated.....

since this is a design decision i will leave it to you folks
but i think the best way to go is the 'GetTempFolder' which is assured to
be R/W by MS

also, you seem to chose a differnet file name and not 'chrome_debug.log'
which is a bit strange, but.....

normally i verify bugs before reporting them, but i never had chrome via
the google pack, so maybe it does some tricks i am not aware of
