Maybe.... firing multiple processes aiming to write to a same file may cause such an error.

A write lock prevents any other process from read locking or write locking the protected area. Only one write lock and no read locks may exist for a given segment of a file at a given time. The file descriptor on which a write lock is being placed must have been opened with write access.

Probably someone else can give you a better answer !!
