Don't we have a different race in the existing code - I think you can
lose log messages in between the cp & the cat /dev/null.

Thinking how Solaris does cp, it determines the length of the file,
mmaps() chunks & writes them - for a running INN that looks like a
mass of writes in that window.

Or am I missing something obvious?
