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.
