Consider this:
1. User A completes a transaction.
2. Script A reads the log file
3. User B completes a transaction
4. Script B read the log file
5. Script A write the new line to what was read in #2
6. Script B write the new line to what was read in #4
Now what's in the file? Only what Script B wrote.
