Jeremy and Ceki,

Looking at the code, the close() method seems to do what I thought it =
should
do.  Jeremy, could you describe your setup, and what would (or should) =
be
triggering a closing of the appender? =20

Is it because the VM is exiting without a proper Log4j shutdown and =
relying
on the finalize being called by the vm (which frankly I have less and =
less
faith in finalize in VM's, they should rename the method
crossYourFingersFinalize()).

This does make me ask myself whether Log4j could add itself as a =
shutdown
hook, but I think that is 1.3 specific isn't it? If so, perhaps this =
would
be a candidate for some sort of dynamic/reflective magic on detection =
of 1.3
to use this feature for tidying up since it's pretty useful and avoid a
compile time dependancy on 1.3

cheers,

Paul Smith
