Finally got that debugger attached. The unexpected exceptions are std::out_of_range, I think, from bad invocations of std::string::compare. The backtraces all resemble __cxa_throw () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 std::__throw_out_of_range(char const*) () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 std::string::compare(unsigned long, unsigned long, std::string const&, unsigned long, unsigned long) const () from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 log4cxx::pattern::CachedDateFormat::regionMatches at log4cxx/src/main/cpp/cacheddateformat.cpp:311 log4cxx::pattern::CachedDateFormat::findMillisecondStart at log4cxx/src/main/cpp/cacheddateformat.cpp:144 log4cxx::pattern::CachedDateFormat::format at log4cxx/src/main/cpp/cacheddateformat.cpp:225 CachedDateFormatTestCase::test10 at log4cxx/src/test/cpp/helpers/cacheddateformattestcase.cpp:384 LogUnit::runTest<CachedDateFormatTestCase> at log4cxx/src/test/cpp/helpers/logunit.h:111 CachedDateFormatTestCase::RegisterSuite::test10Registration::run at log4cxx/src/test/cpp/helpers/cacheddateformattestcase.cpp:68 abts_run_test at log4cxx/src/test/cpp/abts.cpp:174 LogUnit::TestSuite::run at log4cxx/src/test/cpp/logunit.cpp:232 abts_run_suites at log4cxx/src/test/cpp/logunit.cpp:59 main at log4cxx/src/test/cpp/abts.cpp:433 - Rhys
