Cannot catch PropertyConfigurator's IOException

           Summary: Cannot catch PropertyConfigurator's IOException
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: chet_p_d@hotmail.com


I have tried to search through all previously submitted bugs for 1.2 and FAQs 
but have not found an answer to the following, which I think maybe a bug:

public static void main(String[] args) {
Logger lg = Logger.getLogger(TestLog.class);
try{
PropertyConfigurator.configure("C:\\tmp\\LogProps.txt");
lg.debug("Done configuring logger");
}catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Caught Exception: "+e.getMessage());
}
System.out.println("After props");
}//end main


If LogProps.txt does not exist or if it has syntax errors within, I cannot 
catch those exceptions and take any corrective actions (viz. assuming 
defaults).
