@king-tyler,

Thank you for your PR. It certainly solves the #2592 issue, but I would take the opportunity to clarify some RollingFileManager code.

IMHO, the code of the rolling file appenders is very unclear and hard to maintain, which is the cause of the multitude of bug reports for this component.
