True. We have two problems with log robustness, and this was an attempt 
to address one of them. I sent some thoughts about interleaving 
yesterday. If you have any thoughts about handling interleaving then I'm 
all ears. However, my impression was that this only happened on a small 
number of platforms. If it's more general then it's all the more urgent 
to fix. ISTM that we can't really consider CSV logging until we have a 
handle on both problems.
