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.
