Yeah, this is all very confusing and I don't know how to represent it in
the BTS.

Shibboleth uses log4cpp in a threaded environment and appears to be about
the only application that does so, at least in this intensive of a way.
So log4cpp's thread-safe problems mostly only affect Shibboleth, so I'm
not sure if it's kosher to mark the log4cpp bug grave.  However, this
problem makes Shibboleth largely unusable under load, so for Shibboleth
this is a serious bug.

The problems in log4cpp are also present in etch, so ideally the patch
provided in the log4cpp bug should also be applied to the version in etch
in a stable update.

I'm not at all sure how to use the BTS properly to represent all of this,
so I'm quite happy to follow your preferences.
