I'm not saying the module is broken, just that some of it's goals  
(being able to abort at any point during the request and have all the  
logs for that request suppressed) were incompatible with some of my  
goals (having the logs arrive in real-time).  I was willing to make  
the trade-off of not being able to suppress _all_ the logs for a given  
aborted request, but it's not something that can be patched in a  
backwards-compatible manner.

I started to put a patch together, but when I discovered that my goals  
couldn't be met in a backwards compatible way I postponed it.  When I  
get some free time this week I'll try and finish that up and get it to  
you.
