This case is caught by the added logging now that the failed logging channel is freed and null is returned.  This also allows that error message to handle other logging failures that were not previously reported.

The alternative provided by this patch is to log the error to all attached consoles in the hopes that it will be easier to see.  Additionally, this patch prevents the failed logger channel from being added to the list where it would silently fail on each call to the Asterisk logger.
