Problem with MaxBackupIndex

Hi,
  Here is my log4j.properties file content :
   
  log4j.rootLogger=OFF,
log4j.logger.com.foo=DEBUG, stdout, R
   
  log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender 
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
  log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss} (%F:%L) - %m%n
   
  log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender 
  log4j.appender.R.File=C:\\myfile.log 
  log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=1000KB
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=5
  log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout 
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss} (%F:%L) - %m%n
   
  The problem is only one file is kept in backup instead of 5 as expected (myfile.log, myfile.log.1, myfile.log.2, ...).
  Once the myfile.log reached 1000KB, it clears itself and restart to 0 KB.
  Why ? It used to work but I can't see what the problem is now. I passed from Tomcat 5.0 to Tomcat 5.5, could it be related ?
  Thanks for helping !
