The question, 'why, would you wish to have several process working on
the same file?', sort of pops into my head.. ;o)

Can't say I'm surprised.  They are all attempting to create/access the
same temporary file, and thus getting in each others way.  If they had
different temporary files to work on, then the problem would simply go
away.

Which makes sense, if you think about it.

So, since you yourself created the issue, and have in one way at least,
resolved it, it begs the further question, what exactly is the issue
you have? ;o)
