I'll have to ask...  No, seems he won't :-)
Plenty of other choices I will like though (_chk{err,out}.$$pid
for example).
Note that names such as _chkout$$pid would not be a good choice
either, as the process id would be truncated to a single digit,
which may cause problems.  Using the pid as extension is better
(3 digits), but for optimal effect, use something like
c$$pid.{out,err}.
