Description

If XMLConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch() is called multiple times within an AppDomain, each time it is called it leaks a Win32 file handle (possibly from a FileSystemWatcher object not being disposed?) to the folder containing the previous configuration file it was watching.

Desired behavior would be to release the handle to the folder containing the previous configuration file.
