> If the system crashes after a rollforward backup; last log file 
> is empty(say log2.dat). On next crash-recovery system ignores the  empty log 
> file and starts writing to the previous log(say log1.dat),  
> even thought there was successfule log file switch  before the crash.
> The reason I belive it is done this way to avoid special 
> handling of crashes  during the log switch process. 
> Problem is  on rollfroward restore from a backup log1.dat will get overwritten 
> from the copy in the backup, so any transaction that got added to log1.dat
> after the backup was taken will be lost. 
>  
> One possible solution that comes to my mind to solve this problem is 
>  1) check if an  empty a log file exist after a redo crash-recovery , if 
>      the log archive mode is enabled.
>  2) If it exists , delete and do log file switch again 
>  
> Repro:
> connect 'jdbc:derby:wombat;create=true';
> create table t1(a int ) ;
> insert into t1 values(1) ;
> insert into t1 values(2) ;
> call SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_BACKUP_DATABASE_AND_ENABLE_LOG_ARCHIVE_MODE(
>     'extinout/mybackup', 0);
> --crash (NO LOG RECORDS WENT IN AFTER THE BACKUP).
> connect 'jdbc:derby:wombat';
> insert into t1 select a*2 from t1 ;
> insert into t1 select a*2 from t1 ;
> insert into t1 select a*2 from t1 ;
> insert into t1 select a*2 from t1 ;
> insert into t1 select a*2 from t1 ;
> insert into t1 select a*2 from t1 ;
> insert into t1 select a*2 from t1 ;
> select count(*) from t1 ;
> --exit from jvm and restore from backup
> connect
> 'jdbc:derby:wombat;rollForwardRecoveryFrom=extinout/mybackup/wombat';
> select count(*) from t1 ;  -- THIS WILL GIVE INCORRECT VALUES
