In PHP you do this with very hi chances. I think on high load servers
which open multiple php processes and write to the same logfile.

Actually, we cannot limit this possiblity.
Anyway, after reading a bit I think file locking is necessary. If a
process cannot have the file lock, it should wait till it can.
