[logback-user] Log Rotation Fails on Windows if Using JNDI

[Scott Dudley]

There are two applications running under one Tomcat instance and yes, 
Tomcat also logs via the same file and configuration.

Yes, I read the link in the error but there was nothing applicable to my 
specific configuration/scenario.

Like I said, it does exactly what we want on Linux but log rotation 
fails on Windows.  If I disable JNDI, log rotation works but then I lose 
context identification (application name) which is likewise critical.
