[Quickfix-developers] Quickfix/J FileLog clobbers instead of appending

[Scott H. <sco...@fo...>]

I encountered a problem with checksums and went back to look at my message 
logs after restarting and -- oops -- the restart clobbered them!

If any of you use quickfix.FileLogFactory and have migrated from 
QuickFIX/C to QuickFIX/J (which has so far been quite painless otherwise 
-- thanks everyone!), you might wish to apply the simple patch below and 
redeploy.
