What makes the decision to create a new file? How is that done? If
you're closing the old one and opening a new one, both processes will
have to do it; if you're renaming it away and then closing and opening
with the same name, one process has to do the rename, and then the
other has to just close/open.

It may be easier and cleaner to make use of a separate logging
facility. Many operating systems come with them.
