This was specifically targeted at an earlier comment of yours:

My theory as for the code was written this way is that its author
noticed that accessing the log without getting an error is only possible
while the profiler is still running, so he implemented exactly that.
That's why I've discarded my earlier version of the patch (which pretty
much looks like what you've proposed) and replaced it with something
more elaborate working around this problem.
