   > I believe the intent of the errorhandler test is in checking the fallback 
handling on any error, not specifically a faulty configuration.
   
   
   There are at least two separate problems that I am aware of that the 
fallback error handler is used for: if the appender becomes invalid when 
reconfiguring, and if it becomes invalid during runtime.
   
   The second possibility is discussed somewhat in 
https://github.com/apache/logging-log4cxx/pull/62, where the zip/gzip compress 
actions can fail under certain circumstances outside of our control.  If 
appending to the file and writing to it fails, the error handler may be called 
in order to swap out the appender.
