Description

LogLog::setQuietMode(true) suppresses error reporting but not exceptions associated with the errors.

I discovered this while working with a configuration that uses org.org.apache.log4j.net.SocketAppender. If there is no log4j consumer running for the socket, log4cxx was reporting the following using loglog:

log4cxx: Could not connect to remote log4cxx server at [server-name]. We will try again later.
log4cxx: IO Exception : status code = 730061

I used LogLog::setQuietMode(true) to suppress this, but the exception was still reported without the error text:

log4cxx: IO Exception : status code = 730061
