Yeah, there wasn't really something that touched this code. Writing to the same
file from multiple processes at the same time just has this behaviour unless
you explicitly synchronize the processes or just use different files.

I think something like Vincent's suggestion to use %p makes sense, and
additionally lock the file so that if it's still the same file only the first
process can ever write to it.
