I imagine the problem is that the ExecutorService is never shut down.
I added a logger.getAppender(...).stop() to the test to show that
this does not shut down the pool.

If this is purposeful, please recommend the most peaceful method
to use the socket appender according to the demonstrated model (a main() fire and
forget which immediately needs to quit). Is the only choice here
to call System.exit()?

Thanks, Al
