-------------------------------------------------------------
Observation: The Rollover strategy max parameter is initialized multiple times
during the log4j2 library initialization phase, and finally is set to the
default of 7.
I was not able to understand the initalization sequence while debugging. I just
observed, that the initialization creates multiple strategy objects along the
way, some with max=13, others with max=7, and the latter becomes the final
strategy.
The attached MRE logs to relative path ./logs/. It produces 1kB log each 100ms,
and rolls over at 10kB and each minute. It should keep 13 files per interval...
