The constructors for java.util.logging.FileHandler that take in String
arguments do not work correctly.

Sample code:
public class LoggerTest {
    private static FileHandler fh;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
fh = new FileHandler("/home/foo/logs/foo.log");
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
    }
}

Running this test class causes an infinite loop in the FileHandler
constructor... a bunch of files get created in /home/foo/logs/, with filenames
such as foo.log.lck, foo.log.1.lck, foo.log.2.lck, etc.

One of these files is created approximately every 5 seconds, which seems to
indicate that some sort of operation is timing out.

The no-argument constructor seems to work... it creates 4 files in /tmp:
java0.log, java0.log.lck, java1.log, and java1.log.lck. Specifying these same
filenames to the one-argument constructor doesn't work.
