using log4j to same logging file for more than one process corrupted

           Summary: using log4j to same logging file for more than one
                    process corrupted
           Product: Log4j
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Appender
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: axel.bartsch@siemens.com


I want to write into a logging file with log4j from an application that 
consists of 3 processes (=JAVA VMs).
Each process calls
String configFileName = "log.properties";
PropertyConfigurator.configure(configFileName);
tfl = Logger.getLogger("debug");
and then logs e.g. with
tfl.debug("hello");

The loggging file gets corrupted:
- each process writes into it, after a while 0Hex whitespace is added to the 
logging file
- there is output-process1, whitespace, output-process2, whitespace, output-
process3, whitespace
- some trace outputs are missing
-timestamps start new with each output-processX

If I call PropertyConfigurator more than once for the same process I get the 
error:
log4j:ERROR Attempted to append to closed appender name [Trace]

Using log4j to write into the same log-file for applications that consist of 
more than one process is not working?
Will there be a bug correction or an enhancement.
