> Under heavy traffic load several SYSLOG messages can be concatenated, which is not correct.
> The problem is, several threads in {{AbstractOutputStreamAppender}} can reach in the next code {{write()}} before one thread reaches {{flush()}} (the {{readLock.lock()}} is not lock at all)
> {code:java}
>     @Override
>     public void append(final LogEvent event) {
>         readLock.lock();
>         try {
>             final byte[] bytes = getLayout().toByteArray(event);
>             if (bytes.length > 0) {
>                 manager.write(bytes);
>                 if (this.immediateFlush || event.isEndOfBatch()) {
>                     manager.flush();
>                 }
>             }
>         } catch (final AppenderLoggingException ex) {
>             error("Unable to write to stream " + manager.getName() + " for appender " + getName());
>             throw ex;
>         } finally {
>             readLock.unlock();
>         }
>     }
> {code} 
> In DatagramOutputStream all messages are cumulated in instance variable {{private byte[] data;}}
> Synchronized methods don't help and in this case the synchronization in {{DatagramOutputStream}} is useless, as the correct synchronization should be provided in {{AbstractOutputStreamAppender}}.
