[Bug 1584849] [NEW] Creating a log on a non-default thread causes it to hang

 

Public bug reported:

When creating a Log object it creates a mainloop to wait on the proxy
object. It unfortunately does this with NULL has its context which means
it uses the main thread's context instead of the thread it is running
on. This causes a hang as no one gets events then.
