Should this be `(.getCanonicalFile (File. root-dir))`?
I am not sure whether FileAppender#getFile will give the canonical path.
If it does not, and if the Appender's path has a symlink, then the new
condition could fail even for legitimate requests.

> Note: This is actually version 0.9.0.1 but I couldn't choose that in the
