I could be so far off that I can't even see left field, but: Is it guaranteed that your logger will always in some way make each new line unique? If there's any way in normal operation for the "current" line to contain the same data as the first line, then your test is invalid.

It would be impossible. Each line is unique, they come off of a VOIP switch that has many unique fields, like sequence number, call id, etc...	[reply]
