[logback-user] Some strange logback behaviour

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hi Nicholas,

Thank you for your encouraging words.

The  whatever-1970-01-01.log bug is already known and has been fixed in the 
version currently in SVN trunk. The fix will be included in the next version of 
logback.

As for the other problem. could you please send your logback conf file?

Cheers,
