Thanks - of course this honor goes to Ceki who architected Log4j :).

I see ... in a persistent environment like modperl this will cause 
Log::Log4perl->init() to be called twice, which in the current release
will create duped loggers. To alleviate the problem until it gets fixed 
(next release), just use

     Log::Log4perl->reset();
     Log::Log4perl->init(...);

in your application instead of just calling init(). Or, just call init() 
  once at server startup and not during the reload.
