Foundation.log hangs the app on the simulator with very long strings

[phvega]

Issue details

Calling Foundation.log() with a very long string will cause the app to freeze but only on the simulator, I could not reproduce it on a real device. Furthermore, if the app is closed and reopened, it remains hung on the launch screen and requires a reinstall to make it usable.

I could not replicate the issue on a native Obj-C app with NSLog, so maybe could it be related to robovm?

Reproduction steps/code

I have uploaded a test app on https://github.com/phvega/robovm-nslog-test. Run the app on the simulator with ./gradlew launchIPhoneSimulator.

The app has a button and a label with the click count, when the count reaches 5 it tries to NSLog a very long string, leading to the app freeze.
