I'm going to suggest that we create a new POI LogManager that wraps the log4j one. This would catch null loggers and log4j exceptions and replace them with a no-op logger instance. We can print to system.err to notify that we have done this.
I don't think log4j issues should allowed to make POI fail completely. I'm afraid that we have to assume that log4j is not reliable.
