intermittent appender failures

Title: intermittent appender failures

Occasionally, an appender stops appending. This problem is fixed simply by re-saving the config file with no changes.

I've experienced this with the SMTP appender and rolling file appender.

I am using log4net version 1.2.0.30714.

Below is my config file.
I am using a console application, MS .NET framework version 1.1.4322.573
