Description

If one configure a very short intervall for watching the l4x configuration file application hangs forever on exit. The short lookup intervall is only to reproduce this error on faster machines.
We encountered the error on our slow single cpu target machines.

simple demo prog:

#include <log4cxx/xml/domconfigurator.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
std::string configFile = "test.l4x";
log4cxx::xml::DOMConfigurator::configureAndWatch(configFile, 1);

sleep(2);

return 0;
}

hangs forever in Thread::sleep
