Thanks for that MK. I'm using Debian with Python 2.5 from the stable apt
repository, installed but a couple of days ago. I'll be sure to look into
those other elements you suggested also. I'm not sure if it bares any
resemblance but this application runs a gobject mainloop and uses dbus quite
extensively.
Don't think this might have something to do with the way I have my loggers
configured do you? For some reason it sits in my mind that this issue
started when I moved my logging configuration from programmatic into a
config file, I can't be totally sure of that though.
I've attached the config file that I use, does it all look ok to you? I
wonder if the way I've not added any handles/formatters to my root logger
might be causing beef?
This is certainly a strange one.
