To tell you the truth, thats likely something else. Can you get a tread dump then? Tomcats FileHandler rolls to a new file when the first 10 digits of System.currentTimeMillis changes. I haven't done the math, but I'm guessing thats daily. You won't get a block at the point your showing unless that happens. -- - Mark http://www.lucidimagination.com
