Description

We have a windows service application in production. This windows service is logging greatly with no issues, but sometimes it starts logging mysterious characters like in this screenshot:
https://files.secureserver.net/0sq7H3khXnoq67

To fix this, we clean the log file, and restart the windows service again, but in this way, we are loosing most of the logs (specially the exception/error fired by the windows service).

Any idea on this will be greatly appreciated.
