Please review and push this ridiculously trivial fix: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jgish/Bug4819681-Day1-typo-in-LogManager/ <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Ejgish/Bug4819681-Day1-typo-in-LogManager/>

I'd love to know how many people have stumbled on this ridiculous one-letter capitalization bug which has been around since day-1 of the introduction of logging and kept pushing it under the rug for others to stumble on instead of just fixing the thing and getting it out of the way. Why do we continue to carry this kind of nonsense around? I can just imagine the number of reports that have been generated over the years for every single release since 1.4, where someone has just said "Ah that one. It's trivial. Just forget it." Jeez! (rant over :-) )

Thanks, Jim
