How do I use the log4net FileAppender under mono when running as a background process?

Question

I'm having trouble using a log4net FileAppender with mono. If I spawn the processess in the background (i.e. mono MyApp.exe &), the process suspends after a short period of time. If I run the process in the foreground, the logger works correctly.

On the other hand, if I use a ConsoleAppender and redirect it (i.e. mono MyApp.exe > debug.log &), things are fine.

Here is my configuration for the application:

<appender name="debug-log" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender"> <file value="debug.log" /> <appendToFile value="false" /> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value="%-8timestamp [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline" /> </layout> </appender> <appender name="console" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender"> <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> <conversionPattern value="%-8timestamp [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline" /> </layout> </appender> <root> <level value="DEBUG" /> <appender-ref ref="debug-log" /> </root> I am using the mono-specific version of the log4net assembly.

EDIT

Mono version: 2.10.1

I just noticed another interesting behavior... I am able to use the FileAppender to write to the debug-log as long as I redirect stdout anywhere. For example, if I start my process using the following:

mono MyApp.exe > /dev/null &
The process executes normally, writing to the debug-log. In this case, I am only using the debug-log, not the console appender. Using the same configuration, the process will suspend after writing a small amount of data to debug-log when I remove the redirect.

Probably, including me, the person whom there is here cannot understand English.
Therefore I think that there is not an answer even if I ask you a question here.
