In order to be able to calculate the size of the log file you will need
to either use atomics or another kind of locking mechanism when you
update the filesize, as you will have multiple threads updating this
value concurrently.
so -1 for me, as I don't think it will work on multi-cpu machines
(changes to a +1 if I'm on crack and this does work properly on
multi-cpu machines)
