I cannot say for sure, but why don't you make some contention
algorithm.

Accessing a Log file should be short-timed operation, so some
kind of loop-retry mechanism could help.

Every process/app should open exclusively the log file, write
a line or few, then exit.

In the meanwhile, other processes could try to open exclusively the
same file, but that could be possible only when ther processes release
the file.

Also some type of temp buffering can be considered also. In other
words, if a process could not access a file after say 10 retries, let it
write the log in a tem file. Other file when the access to a file is
gained write temp + current items.
