Thanks for posting this Peter! Very helpful. Do you have any ideas why this patch hasn't made it into SVN yet? I'm sure a lot of people must be getting burnt by this. I followed the second road, and after applying the log4cxx-102.1.patch, your example worked perfectly (the other, more recent, propertyconfigurator.cpp.patch didn't seem to work for me under cygwin so I ignored it) Allan
