this is not a bug nor a problem, it's just the way Unix systems treat the 
files. Many processes can write to a file, and they all have their "private" 
copy. However, only the last process to close the file actually make the 
changes (the other processes also make changes, however since the last one 
submits its own copy is almost the same thing)
