Hello,

I've encountered a problem with Log::Dispatch::FileRotate when running
multiple processes sharing the same log. My script to reproduce are below.
The script simply log the date every second and rotate every 5 seconds (this
issue exists for daily rotation, too, which is how I first noticed it). It
works fine if you run a single process, but then as soon as a launch another
"nolog.pl" instance the existing logfiles are deleted except for the one
with the largest number, and no more rotation happens.

This issue exists on win xp and server 2003, activeperl 5.8.8, log4perl
1.15, FileRotate.pm version 1.15, and also FileRotate.pm version 1.19.
The issue DOES NOT exist on linux (debian etch) perl 5.8.8, log4perl 1.07,
FileRotate.pm 1.19.

Any help you can provide in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
