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

                 Key: LOG4NET-185
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-185
             Project: Log4net
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.2.10
         Environment: windows, all 
            Reporter: nir bon


When decreasing the MaxSizeRollBackups parameter at runtime.
the log4net is not deleting older files that has already written.

This means that if i change the MaxSizeRollBackups parameter repeadetly, i can reach to very large number of old log files.

reconstruct scenario
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
set number of backups to 10 files. wait till you have 10 files.
decrease number of backups to 2. 

result- 10 files will remain at disk. 8 files will never be deleted, 2 files will stay as retention.
expected - only 2 files will remain in disk.
