    Something else is going on, then.  Appending to the file should
mean that everything that gets appended will be preserved; it may be
scmabrled. but it should all be there, even if the writes came from
different concurrent processes.

    I'd suggest:

make -d | grep older

    And see if the files missing from the list match the files that
show up in the grep.

                                                               Todd.
