Package: openjdk-7-jre
Version: 7u25-2.3.10-1~deb7u1
Severity: normal

Hi there,

I am unable to run a simple program using the Log4J 2 API.  The same program
runs on other JVMs without issues, including the OpenJDK 7u3 version in stable.
The update from wheezy-security to 7u21 appears to have caused this issue.

The program is as such:

  package ic.log4j2test;

  import java.io.IOException;
  import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
  import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

  public class Log4j2Test {
      private static Logger log = LogManager.getLogger("Hello");
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
              log.error("INSIDE TRY BLOCK");
              throw new IOException("KILLAH");
          } catch (IOException e) {
              log.error("WHUT", e);
          }
      }
  }

When running this with the most recent version of Log4j 2, it runs for about a
minute, producing the following output:

  amoe@kruis $ java -jar log4j2-test-1-jar-with-dependencies.jar 
  11:28:17.622 [main] ERROR Hello - INSIDE TRY BLOCK

          at ic.log4j2test.Log4j2Test.main(Log4j2Test.java:15)

I expect the following output:

  10:30:40.716 [main] ERROR Hello - INSIDE TRY BLOCK
  10:30:40.718 [main] ERROR Hello - WHUT
  java.io.IOException: KILLAH
          at ic.log4j2test.Log4j2Test.main(Log4j2Test.java:13) [log4j2-test-1-jar-with-dependencies.jar:?]

I'm not sure if this is a bug in Log4j 2, or in the JVM itself, but I am
currently only able to reproduce it with this version of the Debian JVM.  There
is a Maven project available at <https://gist.github.com/amoe/6069573> if you
want to run the test yourself.

Cheers,
Dave
