Hello Francois,

What you describe sounds like a serious bug. Could you please enter a 
bug report so that the bug is not fotgotten?

Interestingly enough, LRUMessageCache is based for the most part on the 
JDK's LinkedHashMap. If the bug is located in LRUMessageCache in the 
code extending LinkedHashMap then we will fix LRUMessageCache. If 
however, the bug is in LinkedHashMap, which is a distinct possibility, 
then we can revert to the original LRUMessageCache which implemented the 
functionality from the ground up, without relying on LinkedHashMap.

In any case, please enter a bug report indicating your version of 
logback and JDK.

Cheers,
