> Some very small percentage of tasks fail with a "Text file busy" error.
> The following was the original diagnosis:
> {quote}
> Our use of PrintWriter in TaskController.writeCommand is unsafe, since that
> class swallows all IO exceptions. We're not currently checking for errors,
> which I'm seeing result in occasional task failures with the message "Text
> file busy" - assumedly because the close() call is failing silently for some
> reason.
> {quote}
> .. but turned out to be another issue as well (see below)
