[issue12361] Memory Leak in File Logging

[Jacob Perkins]

New submission from Jacob Perkins :

I have a custom proxy server that was using a WatchedFileHandler for logging 
requests (the files were rotated with logrotate). It was leaking memory, and I 
had to use supervisord's memmon plugin to restart it whenever it exceed a 
certain threshold. I eventually tried disabling the WatchedFileHandler, and 
memory usage flattened out. I also have a StreamHandler logging the requests, 
so I have to conclude the leak is in WatchedFileHandler or FileHandler. This is 
with Python 2.6.6.

Sorry about this. Turns out the flattening of memory usage was a temporary 
coincidence, and I eventually tracked the bug down to an old version of MySQLdb.
