Hi Ralph, 

Figured out the problem. the log4j property for deleting old archived files
is maxBackupIndex and not maxHistory. 
I found this property in the RollingFileAppender class of the log4j jar.
We are however using TimeBasedRollingPolicy which uses the
apache-log4j-extras version of the RollingFileAppender which i figured out
does not contain this property.
