Many thanks Pascal,

I agree with you, it is way better to allow automatic flush and default it to 
false. I send the complete patch for your consideration.

Thanks again for your gnoga work!
Best regards
Miguel

Thanks Miguel for contributing,

I propose you to add to Log an optional flag for flushing with default false.

Regards, Pascal.
