I have been using LOG4j for quiet a long time, but recently found some
change in the behaviour of LOG4J. 
Issue: Many log files are getting created every day with 0 bytes. Along with
todays date, log files of past date are getting created daily.
I can see many log files(with timestamp as name) created in logs folder
starting from 10-oct-2010 to present day. 
I dont know why i am facing this issue.
I have pasted the log4j settings and files generated because of this issue.
