Thanks for posting this Peter! Very helpful. Do you have any ideas why this
patch hasn't made it into SVN yet? I'm sure a lot of people must be getting
burnt by this.
I followed the second road, and after applying the log4cxx-102.1.patch, your
example worked perfectly (the other, more recent, propertyconfigurator.cpp.patch
didn't seem to work for me under cygwin so I ignored it)
