Something I learned recently that's apropos that I've been meaning to
mention: on Linux, you don't have to worry about interleaving messages
when writing to the same file as long as the messages themselves are
smaller than PIPE_BUF, which on my FC5 machine here is defined as 4096
bytes:

$ grep -r PIPE_BUF /usr/include/
/usr/include/linux/limits.h:#define PIPE_BUF 4096
        /* # bytes in atomic write to a pipe */
