Curt,

Thanks for fixing this bug in log4j.

I followed the link to the log4cxx bug you also fixed, and noted that you 
report "to preserve compatibility with existing configurations, 
FileAppender::setOption will eliminate double backslashes from any specified 
file name".

This seems reasonable.  I see that you applied this compensation to log4j, too.

One special case will be impacted negatively by this: when a UNC-type file name 
is used, i.e. \\mymachine.apache.org\mydir\myfile.log.  My work-around for the 
exiting log4j bug includes replacing 2 leading backslashes with four ( so log4j 
can turn them back into two ).

Perhaps you could consider handling this special case, too, by not turning 2 
leading backslashes into one.  Note that a file name that begins with a single 
backslash is not a valid file name, so backward compatibility would not be 
compromised by adding this additional fix ( i.e. no one was using double 
backslashes in that position as a workaround to the bug ).  Without the 
additional fix, the above valid UNC file name will be rendered invalid.

I am marking this bug re-opened while you consider my request.

Thanks,
Tom
