Thread: AllocSetStats uses fprintf instead of elog

Function AllocSetStats uses fprintf instead of standard logging method. 
Is there any reason for it? If not I will rewrite it to use 
elog(NOTICE,..) instead.

Yes: it's typically called in zero-free-memory situations, and we don't
want to depend on elog() succeeding to be able to find out what happened.
