concave Concave functions of different behaviourbehaviour in the neighbourhood of 0$0$ from the Shannon function

I'm looking for an example of a concave function $g\colon [0,1]\to\mathbb{R}$$g \colon [0,1] \to \mathbb{R}$, $g(0)=0$ such that:   

$$\liminf_{x\to 0^+}\frac{g(x)}{-x\ln x}\neq \limsup_{x\to 0^+}\frac{g(x)}{-x\ln x}.$$

Moreover, is it possible that the upper limit is infinite while the lower limit is finite?
