I think not, but I don't know for sure. I was thinking that GnuCash
would open() the log for appending only, and every now and then write a single
log entry using a single write() call. What are the chances of a write error
destroying data earlier in the log? War stories, anyone?
(When chopping off the front of a log, GnuCash would use the same
write-and-move procedure as it would when saving the database.)
