[issue7360] [mailbox] race: mbox may lose data with concurrent access

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Probably.  Unless I'm mistaken, the issue with concurrent rewrite (as opposed to append) exists for single-file-mailboxes in the general case, not just in Python.  And as far as I know failure is never noisy, the last writer wins.
