Summary: logging: Default handlers broken

Initial Comment:
Hi,

There is a strange behaviour in logging. When a new
logger is created, its doesn't have any handlers...
until the root logger is invoked, at which point the
new logger uses the same handler as the root handler. 

See the following code snippet as an illustration of
the bug:

Python 2.4.2 (#67, Sep 28 2005, 12:41:11) [MSC v.1310
32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for
more information.
>>> from logging import *
>>> z = getLogger("z")
>>> z.warning("The Larch.")
No handlers could be found for logger "z"
>>> warning("Bicycle Repair Man!")
WARNING:root:Bicycle Repair Man!
>>> z.warning("The Larch.")
WARNING:z:The Larch.
