Seems that the author did not consider the use case of consecutively using
different handlers operating on the same file set - I've not yet made up my
mind, if you are misusing the logging system or if that's a bug. 

Anyway, as of 2.3.2 the package has still __status__ = "beta", so patches
might be welcome.
