Only if they're logging into the same directory with the same filename
pattern.  This isn't the default (the default log_directory is under
$PGDATA), and so I'm not that worried now that I think about it carefully.
I'm coming around to agree with Ed's position that it's not worth the
trouble to provide more than the strftime escapes.
