Exception thrown when an error occurs while logging. In most cases exceptions will be handled within Log4j but certain Appenders may be configured to allow exceptions to propagate to the application. This is a RuntimeException so that the exception may be thrown in those cases without requiring all Logger methods be contained with try/catch blocks.
