Panic.

That's what I generally do.

What I actually do is work on the principle that something has gone seriously wrong if I can't log errors - so the chances are that it's not really my problem - it's a major system fault that I have no control over. So ignore it. Report it to the user so they have a chance to save any data elsewhere if you can, or kill your application. If you can't log an error, then you can't log the fact that there is an error (for example, the disk may be full) so there isn't a lot you can do. If for example the disk is full, then you can't even send yourself an email to let yourself know, because that needs temporary disk space at the email system!
