That change was committed back in 2014, prior to the first official
Base-3.15.1 release:

I can see that the previous version didn't have any code for
unregistering the listener at all, and my guess is that Ralph moved the
registration code so that listener registration and removal happens as
part of the IOC startup and shutdown (allowing it to be run multiple
times while starting up and shutting down IOCs as part of the Unit Test
improvements).

We could probably add a control to disable the errlogAddListener(), but
we already have the iocLogDisable setting, and two controls might be a
bit confusing.

Ralph, can you comment?
