OK Vinjay,

thanks for the info.
If this bug is fixed, where will i find a fixed version and how do i
install it?
Also, more important to me, what am i doing wrong to get this error
message in the first place?

I could reproduce the error with this program:

import logging
import logging.config

LOGFILE = r"logconf.ini"
logging.config.fileConfig(LOGFILE)

class TypeA(object):
    def __init__(self):
        #logging.config.fileConfig(LOGFILE)
        self.log = logging.getLogger('logfile')
        self.dolog("Starting the program")

    def dolog(self,text):
        self.log.debug(text)

class TypeB(TypeA):
    def __init__(self):
        super(TypeB,self).__init__()
	# put this line in comment to prevent the error
        logging.config.fileConfig(LOGFILE)
        #self.log = logging.getLogger('logfile')
        self.log.debug("Starting class B")

for nr_of_lognr in range(0,2000):
    b = TypeB()
    b.dolog("This is a test to see if logging works and more
specifically the RotatingFileHandler functionallity")

It seemed as if the "logging.config.fileConfig(LOGFILE)" line in Type B
is to blame. I changed the code of my big program to reflect this change
yet i still get this error.

I didn't get this with an earlier version of python.
