Thanks for your *open* response.... ... and I, for one, will be looking forward to the resolution of this issue...

I went out of my way (my apologies to the log4j development team). I didn't mean that other people should refrain from using log4j, I just pointed out that I personally will consider it in future/concurrent projects. This is by no means a proof that there is a flaw in Log4j, it could turn out that it is in our application (even though it seems very unlikely at the time). This problem has my complete attention now, and I'm in the process of writing a test-program that hopefully can isolate the situations in which it occures and hopefully give a hint of where the fault is. Will send the results to Jon Skeet who most kindly promised to look into it.
