	It works fine here with log_file("filename","a"). From here it looks
like there is either a platform specific bug with IO::File, or perhaps you
have something in your code which is questionable - maybe clearing the file
ahead of time or after it is read maybe.
	IO::File has been around quite some time iirc - I suspect you have
a bug somewhere else in your code.
