Unless you got three processes running at the same time that are all trying to 
write to the same file at once. You can't, in that kind of scenario, be sure 
which file ends up being written last. It might be the first process, or the 
second, while we'd want the third one to be the "active" one.

And if nothing else, it's ugly. We can do better programming than that. :)
