Subclass of SyslogAppender seems to log twice
private static Logger syslogger = Logger.getLogger(LoggingManager.class);
syslogAppender = new NewSyslogAppender();

syslogAppender.setSyslogHost(SYSLOG_HOST);
syslogAppender.setThreshold(SYSLOG_PRIORITY);
syslogAppender.setFacility(SYSLOG_FACILITY);
syslogAppender.setLayout(new PatternLayout(SYSLOG_PATTERN));
syslogAppender.activateOptions();

syslogger.addAppender(syslogAppender);
syslogger.info(some string message);

private class NewSyslogAppender extends SyslogAppender {

@Override
public void append(LoggingEvent event) {
// ...snip...create a new LoggingEvent with some of the old event information
super.append(newLoggingEvent);
}
