Description

I override log4j.Clock to support a "live" time vs a "simulated" time.

System.setProperty("log4j.Clock", "teambh.trade.utils.MyClock");

If I use asynchronous loggers, it works fine and calls my Clock:currentTimeMillis().

If I switch to async appenders, currentTimeMillis() is not called.

Is this expected behavior or a bug?

Thanks
