Unreadable start of .error.log

When I access the .error.log file I sometimes get many screens full of ��� before the actual log messages. I looked at the log file with hd. Looks like some zeroes snuck in. Don't ask me how.

Thanks for reporting! We believe we have found a cause for this (it is potentially because multiple processes are writing to the error log at the same time) and are working on deploying the fix.

That's great, thanks! I'm glad I can help make PA even better. :-)
