      problem
      today 070702009
      user1 logs into application today --> logs data in log file dated today (DealerMailer.UI_07072009.log)
      user2 logs into application today --> logs data in log file dated today (DealerMailer.UI_07072009.log)
      user2 logs out of application today --> logs data in log file dated today (DealerMailer.UI_07072009.log)

      tomorrow 08072009
      user1 still has his application open from yesterday (all calls are per call basis so no locks are held)
      user2 logs into application --> no file exists, rolls over to next day & logs data (DealerMailer.UI_08072009.log)
      user1 submits a transaction --> all data in (DealerMailer.UI_08072009.log) is overwritten

      i have no idea why this is happening
