Besides the crashes, NSPR logging to a file is messed up because all the
processes write to the same log file. See:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Debugging/HTTP_logging?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=HTTP_Logging#Creating_separate_logs_for_child_processes

I think it is time to make GECKO_SEPARATE_NSPR_LOGS the default.
