Aha,

Thanks for catching that.  For an extreme measure you can change it to:

protected static Appender setupAppender = new NullAppender();

or

protected static Appender setupAppender = new FileAppender(new 
PatternLayout(), <a log file name here>);

Expresso 5.1 has had logging initialization reworked so this hassle will be 
no longer necessary.

HTH!
