This was internal SW, so I would have found out. I was concerned about
what might happen, so I included logging to see how often it happened
and what actually occurred when it did. After a year of use, there were
no reports of conflicts, so I took the logging out. There might have
been race conditions in the logging. Conflicts might have started
happening left and right after I took the logging out. At least I had a
warm fuzzy feeling.
