This is definitely not a duplicate of 41214. This is a classic deadlock issue. 
I tried even with the latest version of log4j and noticed the same behavior.

The main problem is, we are calling log4j within the appender itself after 
log4j calls the appender. A fix for this got to be expensive as you need to 
lock all appenders for a logger when that logger is logging. Or you should 
atleast publish a guideline stating log4j should not be called from the 
appenders.

Thanks for looking into this.
