D'oh. Wonder how often we will keep encountering this.
I have not understood what's going on here. Are these files running
concurrently in the same pwd?
No. The issue is different. Whenever you have
$program > file
and $program itself spawns other processes which inherit the file
descriptor to 'file', and write to it concurrently, then POSIX does
not guarantee that those writes are atomic.
