            // that point on - whenever the Timer triggers there is an 'IllegalStateException: Timer already cancelled'
            // and the task does not get executed.
            //
            // In practice, this makes the ActiveMQ client unable to refresh connections to brokers. Generally, tasks
            // are well coded to not throw exceptions but if they do, problems ensue...
            //
            // The answer, here, is to log the exception and then carry on without throwing further. This gives the
            // added benefit that, having seen the exception thrown, one can then go and fix the offending task!
