Has a defect in that it tries to do special character substitution when the characters come from a property. I don't think this is the desired behavior because when the property contains a windows path, then the path gets mangled. I have attached a patch to org/apache/log4j/xml/DOMConfigurator.java that hopefully resolves this issue.
