l4g won't flush buffer?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I do not have a specific steps to reproduce the issue because it occurs in a 
very complicated project which I cannot share.
Sometimes the l4g won't output the error/debug messages to StdOut or whatever 
file I redirect the stream to
But if I add a fmt.Println("whatever text"), the error will appear in the 
output.
I tried to call l4g.Close(), but it doesn't help.
I think it might be buffer flush issues.
Could you please check?

In addition, adding fmt.Println("whatever text") even doesn't work sometimes.

This program can reproduce the bug:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "net/rpc"
    l4g "code.google.com/p/log4go"
)

func main() {
    if err := foo(); err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        l4g.Error(err)
    }
//    fmt.Println("hello")
}

func foo() error {
    client, err := rpc.Dial("tcp", "127.0.0.1:6666")
    if err != nil {
        return l4g.Error(err)
    }
    defer client.Close()
    return nil
}

Two error message should be expected.
While you actually get none.

I have the same problem.
When I run the XMLConfigurationExample.go I get no output at all (the files are 
empty).

Running "go test code.google.com/p/log4go" gives the following output:

I was using log4net and would really like to use log4go, therefore I would 
appreciate it a lot of you could fix this problem.

If I write many log messages the oldest ones get written. Therefore, I think 
the problem is just that syncs are not executed when the Logger.Close() 
function is called.

Ciao,

This is the same as issue #8.

The attached patch seems to fix many of these problems, particularly with 
truncated log files. However, perhaps not all manifestations are addressed.

This patch goes on top of the previous one.  It handles console/stdout logging 
much more faithfully.

It _is_ a bit ugly .......

Patch 3 for this issue.  Actually emit well formed XML for XML log writers.

I also noticed this bug and can't find any way around it. Even setting 
log4go.LogBufferLength = 0 doesn't seem to force the package to do synchronous 
output. That's a bit of a showstopper for me, and I can't use the package until 
that is resolved.

Same issue here. Has there been any progress on this?
