Good catch, thanks, I've checked in the fix. BTW, if we wanted to be fully
compatible, we'd have to add support for the following, too (out of log4j):

     In configuration files, the <b>MaxFileSize</b> option takes an
     long integer in the range 0 - 2^63. You can specify the value
     with the suffixes "KB", "MB" or "GB" so that the integer is
     interpreted being expressed respectively in kilobytes, megabytes
     or gigabytes. For example, the value "10KB" will be interpreted
     as 10240.

Another good catch, 1.09 is now required both in JavaMap/RollingFileAppender
and in the test case.

Pushed 0.35 to the web site for beta testing ...
