Because they're reporting messages in the socket creation code,
which runs in worker threads.  using the Log at that point
wouldn't be threadsafe.

The socket creation code is a special case there -- it's the /only/
part of Pan that uses threads, and it's a very small task.  The
purpose here is to make a connection in a nonblocking way so that
Pan doesn't freeze while connecting.
