Description

As reported in a PR, if the rollover fails(because you have run out of memory for example), then logging will stop. The only error that the user sees is that an exception occurred during the rollover. This is very unhelpful.

In order to fix this, update the RollingFileAppender classes to call the error handler if an error happens during rollover. The error handler should already be defined as part of the parent Appender class.
