    Description

      We have been using log4j2 version 2.7 for a while and recently we have upgraded to log4j2 version 2.8.2 and the following stack trace started to appear. The following stack trace does not appear with log4j2 version 2.7. We googled a lot to find a solution, but can't find the exact source of the problem. If anyone can help, that would be great. The below is the actual stack trace and our xml config file.

      Thank you.
