Description Oliver Dungey 2004-04-01 11:33:15 UTC 
If you use a <parallel> block the logging from the parallel tasks is all mashed
together rendering it useless to anyone trying to check what happened.

To get round this I would recommend that logging is buffered in some way
(temporary file/stream) during parallel execution and then the logging is pushed
into the normal log stream when the <parallel> block is complete.

This brings another feature into play, all log messages need date/time stamps
against them. All targets should output a start and finish banner (with dates
and times).

This bug has a relationship to bug 25734 (parallel xml logging problems), bug
16906 (which has made changes to the parallel task) and bug 28122 (bug with
parallel with threadsPerProcessor).
