The details on this are that (I'm guessing) we use both stdio and FILE io
to write to the VolserLog, and so when one set of routines is used to log,
instead of being appended at the end it starts from the beginning; i don't
think we're seeking so it's pretty much got to be 2 separate file
pointers.
