I didn't notice the other possible fix until I had already added the
code to double up the %'s.  I was following the adage "First, get it
working; then, get it right." (I know, "make it fast".)

In fact, in hindsight, I would recommend modifying the log() call
instead of adding the code I did, since changing the call would be more
straight-forward and fit in with the paradigm of log().
