[slf4j-user] disappearing log levels

Sorry if this is slightly off topic as I have boiled this down to more
of a log4j issue.  I'm using SLF4J in my project, but a third party
library uses log4j directly.  When I call one of their methods all
logging statements bellow ERROR Level seem to disappear.  I've tried
passing in -Dlog4j.debug=true -Dlog4j.disableOverride=true to the
application and it doesn't seem to help.  I tried using log4j 1.2.8
and the 1.2.13.  log4j.debug doesn't mention anything about being
overridden.

Here is sample code and output.

package test;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

import com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument;

/** What are the CR4E libraries doing with log4j? */
public class DisappearingLog4j {

	private final static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(DisappearingLog4j.class);
	private final static String file = "CrystalReport1.rpt";
	
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

		ReportClientDocument clientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
		
		log.debug("This debug statement shows up.");
		log.info("This info statement shows up.");
		log.warn("This warn statement shows up.");
		log.error("This error statement shows up.");
		
		clientDoc.open(file, 0);
		
		log.debug("This debug statement does not show up!!!");
		log.info("This info statement does not show up!!!");
		log.warn("This warn statement does not show up!!!");
		log.error("This error statement shows up.");
		
	}

}

2006-06-09 17:30:19,603 DEBUG test.DisappearingLog4j This debug
statement shows up.
2006-06-09 17:30:19,603 INFO  test.DisappearingLog4j This info
statement shows up.
2006-06-09 17:30:19,603 WARN  test.DisappearingLog4j This warn
statement shows up.
2006-06-09 17:30:19,603 ERROR test.DisappearingLog4j This error
statement shows up.
2006-06-09 17:30:21,065 ERROR test.DisappearingLog4j This error
statement shows up.

Any help is appreciated.
