leaking classLoaders

[Andy Heilveil <ah...@netspend.com>]

My apologies if this is a known problem but the archives are down right
now so ...

If I configure using PropertyConfigurator.configure and create a
FileAppender then the classLoader involved never gets garbage collected.
If I replace the PropertyConfigurator.configure() call with code that
directly instantiates the same components I don't get the problem.
The problem was noted in a custom application server situation.
I have crunched the code down to a small test that demonstrates the
problem and will send a zip of the source to whomever might be curious
about this.

Hi Andy,

Which JDK is this?

Could you please send your test case to log4j-dev@ as log4j-user@ strips 
out attachments.
