Well, I'm not currently facing any race-around conditions. As I said, I was 
mostly familiarizing myself with the API.
Well, as emit() is always being called from within a lock, I assumed that 
flush() should/would also be handled similarly. Afterall, they are handling the 
same underlying output stream or in case of the BufferingHandler share the same 
buffer. Shouldn't the access be synchronized?
