The product now uses a Maildir-style approach to deal with
concurrent writes. The creation of the file name uses 
time(), gethostname() and randint() to hopefully create 
enough "uniqueness" in the names.

The flooding problem still is not solved. For production sites
it's probably a good idea to turn off the backup to prevent DOS
attacks. But for debugging it's a valuable tool.

Okay, I'll write it if the okay from the BDFL is here ;-)
