Yes, but we are not talking about the same fd. Instead, we talk about
the same FILE*. A thread-safe libc guarantees (AFAIK) that the data
passed to fwrite are appended as a whole. This, in turn, means that
the data passed to Python's file.write are also appended as a whole.
I'm pretty sure this property also holds on Windows.
