If you are going to write multiple lines, and you want them to stay

The duplication is a complete mystery. The code looks unexceptional. Try
getting it to write the process id as well, just to see if it *is* the
same process. Maybe a timestamp too.

Oh, wait, I've spotted the bug:

That should be fclose(). Entertaining bug!
