We updated from Hibernate 3.5.4 -> 3.5.5 in JBoss 4.0.4 and noticed that 3.5.5 started to log SQL queries even as we do have statistics set as false:

... props:
<property name="hibernate.show_sql">false</property>
<property name="hibernate.generate_statistics">false</property>

JBoss startup:
jvm 1 | 09:16:50,953 INFO [SettingsFactory] Statistics: disabled

JBoss logging:
jvm 1 | 09:28:12,359 INFO [Statistics] HQL: select aAct.target.id from etc etc

Bug? How can we disable this for good? Currently had to block logging on Log4j config.
