Another slight problem with the numbering scheme is that during 
archiving you'll overwrite old files. So your archive scripts need to 
intelligently rename the files. Not too easy.

Maybe adding a couple of substitution characters (%p=pid, %N roll 
number, %Y, ... the usual strftime caharcters for timestamp formatting).
