Thanks for the response. That's what I think. But why does the out of order entry happens in 4-5 mins late everytime? If the out of order is because of multi-threading, it shouldn't appear so late and cause the EOFException in the Tomcat end.

This was changed a while ago to use the time the request was received. This violates the common log format requirements, but makes logging faster. So it is not unexpected to see out-of-order log lines.
