By my reading, the effectiveness of prudent mode is dependent on the JVM
implementation and OS.  Can't make a hard guarantee that things will work as
desired or consistently on different JVM implementations or OS's.

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/webnotes/compatibility.html, item 3, suggests that
it may be more effective on JDK 1.6 than 1.4 or 1.5.

(O'Reilly Java NIO, page 68)

"The semantics of concurrent file access by multiple processes is highly
dependent on the underlying operating system and/or filesystem.  Concurrent
access to the same file by FileChannel objects running in different JVMs will,
generally, be consistent with concurrent access between non-Java processes."
