Attachments: The patch attempts to fix the problem by simply applying the same escaping mechanism to the classname as to the method name

Description Rob Oxspring 2005-07-11 19:09:27 UTC 
We've stumbled across a scenario where the location information comes out with 
the method set to java and the classname ending with <init>.  The problem occurs
only after the first few calls to the constructors in question and we've only
seen it on Aix under IBM's jre 1.4.0 - the suspicion is that their JIT is
kicking in and messing the information up.  Obviously, with this problem in
place the likes of Chainsaw get very confused when trying to process the 'xml'.

Applied fix in both v1_2-branch and CVS HEAD.  Was not able to formulate a test to check the fix.  The 
XMLLayout has other potential problems, but that is beyond the scope of what we should do in the log4j 
1.2 branch.
