The method is documented in
org/apache/log4j/log4j/Hierarchy.java
/**
Reset all values contained in this hierarchy instance to their
default. This removes all appenders from all categories, sets
the level of all non-root categories to <code>null</code>,
sets their additivity flag to <code>true</code> and sets the level
of the root logger to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Level#DEBUG DEBUG}. Moreover,
message disabling is set its default "off" value.
<p>Existing categories are not removed. They are just reset.
<p>This method should be used sparingly and with care as it will
block all logging until it is completed.</p>
@since 0.8.5 */
