[AGENT++] Where does Agent++ trigger DefaultLog::instance destructor from?

no, it does not.

No, don't do it like this. This will cause memory corruption if
DefaultLog::log() is called again, because DefaultLog still uses the
pointer. You have to use the init function again with a null pointer.
This will delete the old pointer.

But as this does not look very good, I will add the following function
for the next release:
	static void cleanup()
	  { if (instance) delete instance; instance = 0; }
