+
+  Commit 008731b0a4b96c4e6c340fff738cc12364985b64
+  caused a regression by resulting in logger.xml
+  being compiled and linked into the asterisk
+  binary in lieu of logger.c on certain platforms
+  if Asterisk was compiled in dev mode.
+
+  To fix this, we ensure the file has a unique
+  name without the extension. Most existing .xml
+  files have been named differently from any
+  .c files in the same directory or did not
+  pose this issue.
+
+  channels/pjsip/dialplan_functions.xml does not
+  pose this issue but is also being renamed
+  to adhere to this policy.
+
+  Resolves: #539
