------------------------------------------------------------------

I can imagine nothing in log4net that could cause such an issue. To me it would look much more like an issue with the filesystem (immanent hard drive failure) or the application is logging binary content. If one tries to open a binary file (i.e. a xsl file) it will look much alike what you see there.

Anyway, we need much more information than what you have provided in order to investigate further. Do you have a sample application for us that reproduces the issue?

> We have a windows service application in production. This windows service is logging greatly with no issues, but sometimes it starts logging mysterious characters like in this screenshot:
> https://files.secureserver.net/0sq7H3khXnoq67
> To fix this, we clean the log file, and restart the windows service again, but in this way, we are loosing most of the logs (specially the exception/error fired by the windows service).
> Any idea on this will be greatly appreciated.
