log4j Unexpected Result [message #106180]

I have some project specific appenders that I need to use for a project so
I have included log4j as a runtime dependency in my plugin. This plugin
provides a simple wrapper around log4j and presents this wrapper to other
plugins for use.
Everything works as I expect except that time a new Logger is returned all
existing loggers take on the most recent category name in their loggers.
I suspect the interaction between osgi bundle class loaders and log4j and
yet I have no clues as to why this behaviour is occuring.
Does anyone have any hints about where I should look for these clues? I
am resisting the effort to trawl through the log4j code and I know other
people have used log4j so some pointers to where next would be appreciated.

Hi Jeff,

Did you build the log4j plugin yourself or are you using one of the
handful logging bundles that support log4j?
