Revision 111820, "Prefer `message1' over `message'.", caused us to start calling
message1 instead of message in sheap.c. message1 ends up calling message_dolog,
which tries to allocate a *Messages* buffer. Maybe Fdump_emacs should bind
Vmessage_max_log?

Anyway, I've installed the following patch to trunk, which fixes the problem. If
we want to go back to using message1, let's somehow make sure it doesn't log.

          * sheap.c (report_sheap_usage): Use message, not message1, so
         that we don't try to create a buffer while we're in the middle
         of dumping Emacs.  Explain why.
