I replicate the problem with the example described in issue #68.
The file, in this case, is not released because when the Logger.remove_backend(...) method is invoked the :gen_event behavior does not catch the exit signal in the handle_info callback.
The solution I propose is to make a pattern match on the exit signal and in this callback close the file.
Let me know what think about it, I'm happy to help with this project that I find very useful. :D
This PR deals with releasing the file descriptor in case the backend has removed.
