When logging from the main thread after a date change and the maxsize of backups is reached, the existing log lines of other threads is removed from the file (or file is overwritten). Logging from other (sub) threads don't affect the file contents.

<appendToFile value="true" />
<staticLogFileName value="false" />
<rollingStyle value="Date" />
<datePattern value="yyyy-MM-dd'.log'" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="2" />
