@Greg thanks for that - didn't imagine it would be incompatible but just had to 
ask if someone's had experience using it.

@Thorbjørn 
No unix machines have not been booted - it's been happening today and 
about every second day before but machines were last rebooted 2/3 weeks ago.
I've only seen it start to happen after we upgraded to Java 1.6 and Weblogic 
10.3.
Trying to pinpoint the problem but thought I'd ask the compatibility question
for log4j since I'd never considered that it would be incompatible.

We've even seen instances where the log files are missing entries from an 
entire period
of time (midnight - 7am).

We are able to reproduce the problem with this code:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileWriter;



public class FileTest {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
        
        File file1 = new File("test.file");
        FileWriter writer1 = new FileWriter(file1);
        for (int i = 0 ; i < 20 ; i++) {
            writer1.write("Step 1 \n");
        }
        writer1.flush();
        FileWriter writer2 = new FileWriter(file1);
        for (int i = 0 ; i < 10 ; i++) {
            writer2.write("Step 2 \n");
        }
        writer2.flush();
        writer2.close();
        for (int i = 0 ; i < 20 ; i++) {
            writer1.write("Step 3 \n");
        }
        writer1.flush();
        writer1.close();
   

which somehow suggests 2 logical file pointers to the one physical file. 
But this is odd since we use AsyncAppenders for all of our logging (we have 
about
5/6 AsyncAppenders for this 1 application) to log different events.

Do these random times coincide with the machines being booted?
