Description

Hi, I have a need to change the configuration of log4j2 programatically after automatic configuration following the instructions at https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/customconfig.html.

To fullfill my requirements I need to stop the context and restart it with my proper config, when I do this and try to write a log the AwaitCompletionReliabilityStrategy enters in a bucle and throws a Stackoverflow exception.

I've developed a Unit test that recreates the problem.

Edit: attached test files.
