[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-82?page=comments#action_12422992 ] Thorbjorn Kvam commented on LOG4NET-82: ---------------------------------------
We've experienced the same issue. We also use the .yyyyMMdd-pattern, and the described bug seem to occur if there are no logfiles from yesterday, but only older logfiles from three days or more back. That is, for instance on my developer computer, if I come back to work on a monday (when my computer have been doing nothing on saturday and sunday), this bug happened. > RollingFileAppender: Cannot RollFile ...
