Jira is still down, so I went ahead and committed a patch that
eliminates dependency on all non-local static variables (didn't mess
with ThreadLocalStorage). I would appreciate any feedback especially
from those who reported segmentation faults at startup.

Thanks, the traceback is consistent with attempting to configure
before the static string DEBUG_KEY has been constructed. I've just
completed a fairly wide-ranging patch that eliminates use of non-local
static variables (see item 47 in Effective C++ for background) within
log4cxx. However, the bug database has been having problems for a
couple of hours and so I can't get a bug number to use in the commit.
If it stays down another hour, I'll do the commit anyway.
The most commonly used non-local static variables are the
log4cxx::Level::DEBUG and similar level "constants". I could not
remove those without breaking almost all code that uses log4cxx, so
I've left them in but added accessors, log4cxx::Level::getDebug(), etc
that are safe for use at any time and changed all references to
log4cxx::Level::DEBUG inside log4cxx to use the accessor.
