I needed two logging handlers in my application, one notifiying the user
of errors, the other writing errors to a logfile. So I created a custom
subclass of logging.Formatter and redefined the formatException() method
that returned a summary of the exception like 'ZeroDivisionError'
instead of the full traceback.
Unfortunately the logging record caches the result of the
handler.formatException() call in the exc_text variable, and the
formatException() method of the second handler isn't called at all.
The attached patch removes the caching and fixes the problem.
