The lock is in log_real() around the call to log_write(). log_write() does two
things: writes to the file, and calls log_callback, which in this case is
con_handle_log(), which sends stuff to the network, causing recursive hilarity
to ensue.
It feels like some of the things in con_handle_log() don't want to be called
by multiple threads simultaneously, though.
