        <div class="comment-block" style="background-color:#edf5ff;border:1px solid #dddddd;color:#000000;padding:12px;">I've coded a fix for this problem, will post on the mailing list and make a pull request. My fix will produce the stack trace below.
<br/>

<br/>
There is a minor problems that I'm not able to solve without a more significant effort/more significant code changes.
<br/>
Syslogappender has a prefix for regular log events, and one for stacktrace lines. These 'special' stacktrace control lines fit neither, they are a 3. category of log lines!
<br/>

<br/>
-Preferably I would want these special lines to use the same prefix as normal events, but the way the SuffixPattern prefixing is coded makes this dificult to achieve without refactoring significantly. The mechanism that does the prefixing (based on SuffixPattern) is central to the Syslogapender, so I didn't touch this.
<br/>
-An alternative choice would be to create a 3d prefix option, a new sibling to SuffixPattern and StackTracePattern. Might put to much of a burden on the casual user to understand yet another option, so I didn't do this
<br/>
-My third option, (which I implemented) was to recycle the StackTracePrefix for these special loglines. This turns out OK (see log example below), but doesn't allow me to make these special log lines stand out (by using a reduced indent). Standing out is kind of the purpose of these special lines, they're used as separators/headers for stacktraces.
<br/>

<br/>
Example log output using a fixed syslogappender.

( The new lines my fix adds are:
