Appender truncates existing log files

           Summary: Appender truncates existing log files
           Product: Log4j
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Appender
        AssignedTo: log4j-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: anderson.jb@ghc.org


Does FileAppender.setAppend("true") do anything? Each time we restart our app 
server, and log to a file, the existing file is truncated and the contents 
replaced with the new log statements. Although the documentation says appending 
is set to true by default. It would be appear otherwise. I've tried setting 
this via an XML config file and by calling setAppend() directing in the code. 
Same result either way.
