For Tomcat, the Solr is often put into catalina.out as a default, so the output might be there. You can configure Solr to send the logs most anywhere you please, but without some specific setup on your part the log output just goes to the default for the servlet.
I took a quick glance at the code but since the merges are happening in the background, there's not much context for where that error is thrown. How much memory is there for the JVM? I'm grasping at straws a bit...
