I'm trying to configure the jboss-log4j.xml file for a size based appender:

  |    <!-- A size based file rolling appender    -->
  |    <appender name="FILE" 
class="org.jboss.logging.appender.RollingFileAppender">
  |      <errorHandler class="org.jboss.logging.util.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
  |      <param name="File" value="${jboss.server.log.dir}/server.log"/>
  |      <param name="Append" value="false"/>
  |      <param name="MaxFileSize" value="100000KB"/>
  |      <param name="MaxBackupIndex" value="30"/>
  | 
  |      <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
  |        <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c] %m%n"/>
  |      </layout>
  |    </appender>
  | 

If I set the MaxBackupIndex=8 everything seems to work as described i.e. when 
the server.log size hits MaxFileSize it is copied to server.log.1 and a new 
server.log starts.  But with the above configuration when the server.log size 
hits MaxFileSize the server.log is truncated and no indexed file is created 
which, as I read, is what should happen if the MaxBackupIndex is set to 0?  So 
is there a limit to the value for  MaxBackupIndex ?

Configuration:
     JBoss-eap-4.3
     Solaris
