This is OS dependent. Most unix type systems perform an
atomic seek-to-end-of-file along with the write when you
have opened in append mode, so as long as the writes are
small enough to complete in one operation concurrency
is not an issue. It doesn't work over NFS when writing
from multiple machines and it probably doesn't work
the same way on Windows.
