Okay, so I decided not to be lazy and created a test C app & Perl app
that cut the relevant lines out of their sources in OpenSRF and
wrapped them in a minimal shell (with the C app just looping around a
usleep(10000); fwrite(...); block to prove that it was successfully
writing & holding the file pointer open).

There was absolutely no problem having them both writing to the same
file at the same time. So... hmm. Any ideas from here?
