That's not as easy as you may think.  This only happens on freefall,
and it doesn't always happen.  When it does happen, the output isn't
exactly the same; i.e., it's always broken slightly differently.  I've
looked at the output before, and it really looks like there are two
processes or threads or something writing to the same file; that's the
only way I can explain it.

At first I suspected that the web build scripts use make -j, but this
isn't the case.  I have seen multiple 'jade' (the SGML renderer)
processes running simultaneously on freefall, though; perhaps the
build script is being started twice?  It's a long shot, but that
*could* be the potential culprit.
