Description

I'm getting this exception when trying to call ILog.Error() method (the logger used is RollingFileAppender):

log4net:ERROR Exception while logging
System.Threading.LockRecursionException: A read lock may not be acquired with the write lock held in this mode.

at log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger.ForcedLog(Type callerStackBoundaryDeclaringType, Level level, Object message, Exception exception)
at log4net.Repository.Hierarchy.Logger.Log(Type callerStackBoundaryDeclaringType, Level level, Object message, Exception exception)

Any ideas why it might be happening?
