 Ah. Well, I was on a Linux system, so I probably didn't get the file open in
 O_APPEND mode. I may have used FILE*, too, which could muck it up.

 The fifo worked, so I stuck with it :-)

As it happens, APR doesn't require a POSIX compliant system. Windows, for
example, has no way to easily open a file for APPEND (when using multiple
threads and native system calls).
