TelnetAppender prevents tomcat from shutting down

           Summary: TelnetAppender prevents tomcat from shutting down
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Appender
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jhkeller@ucdavis.edu


When running log4j with a TelnetAppender within Tomcat 4.0x, Tomcat's normal
shutdown hook does not seem to kill the process.

The servlets give messages that they are being shut down, but the process does
not end.  I believe that tomcat is shutting down properly, but the
TelnetAppender ServerSocket is listening on a non-daemon thread.  This is
preventing the server
from shutting down as requested.

This causes a problem for restarting the server as the TelnetAppender is still
listening on the specified port and the next restart of the tomcat engine then
bombs when attaching loggers because the port is already in use on the machine.
 This causes the error in Bug# 15198 when the servlet survives the logger
exception and attempts to use the logger.
