Hi, Ceki has already answered, and I myself haven't heard of nor experienced memory leaks. We have had large, long-lived servers use log4j with many Loggers and several appenders, never had any problems. However, I'm curious about something else in your question, and this may make this thread OFF-TOPIC ;)

So you have an app that uses log4j's File and Console appenders only, not SNMPAppender, yet the out of memory condition occurs when there's a lot of SNMP processing going on? Did you run it with a profiler to see what's happening? Alternatively, did you try increasing the max memory a little to see if maybe those "lot of SNMP traps" require more memory naturally? An OutOfMemoryError does not always indicate a memory leak.
