log4net not exactly threadsafe?
-------------------------------

                 Key: LOG4NET-199
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-199
             Project: Log4net
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: 1.2.10
         Environment: Windows Server 2003
            Reporter: Kenneth Shih


 
Problem: We call log4net from our BizTalk 2006 orchestrations.  We noticed we 
were missing logging data. 
 
Doing a simple Nunit single threaded test, we would get all logged data. 
(repeatable)
In a Nunit multithreaded test, we would notice missed logged data. (repeatable)
Also, we also noticed  when BizTalk Host, when we lowered the amount of active 
threads down to 2 (the lowest we could go) 
 
So, We enabled debug tracing in log4net.  We also added various system.diag 
eventlogwrites around different parts of our code,  from where log4net was 
called, and also inside our appenders.
 
We noticed was saw an error in the debug tracing (using debugviewer)  
log4net:ERROR [EventLogAppender] Attempted to append to closed appender named 
[EventLogAppender]. 
 
Also, by counting the number of eventlog entries we had from the various 
points, log4net itself was not calling the appenders each time it was called to 
log a message.
 
We seen this issue of log4net not calling the appenders, with a variety of 
different appenders, like the out of the box file and eventlog appenders and 
also our own msmq appender.
 
So log4net doesn't appear to be thread safe?  Any suggestions?
