Hi Stefan, Unfortunately, I am still learning all the fine points of log4net to understand these issues with this appender but I'm willing to help you out with testing and such with what I can. If you tell me what to test, I can test it on a few different platforms (OpenSuSE/Mono, OS X/Mono, WinXp/.NET, etc). Who knows, I may even be able to send a patch or two if possible. :)
