Description

The XMLLayoutTestCase uses two filters to filter the resulting output for variable data: The XMLTimestampFilter uses Filter("[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]", "XXX") to remove time stamps, the XMLThreadFilter uses Filter("0x[0-9A-Fa-f]", "main") to remove thread IDs.
On 64 bit platforms, the thread id can be long enough that the XMLTimestampFilter matches it, if it contains only numerical digits. This ends up with output like

<log4j:event logger="org.apache.log4j.xml.XMLLayoutTestCase$X" timestamp="XXX" level="INFO" thread="mainXXX">

( 'thread="0x2b1269016940"' is first replaced with 'thread="0x2bXXX"' which is then replaced with 'thread="mainXXX"').

This makes the test case fail sometimes.
