Problem with logging in log files.

Question

HI,
Our's is a client/server application.
In our application there are so many clients.
They each have separate page(web page).
When a client download any file from their site it logs(client name, time, file name etc.) into a common log file(access.log) and a client specific log file(access.client_name).
Logging in common file(access.log) is performing well.
Logging in client specific log file works for some clients and don't work for some clients.
For example there is a client called 'candy'.
Some times it logs in the log file, access.candy
some times it don't log.
Tell me wht is the problem.
If you want more information regarding my problem, I will send.
Please give me some solution.
Thank you.............

Third Party Client: ((__null) != m_lock && 0 == (*__error())) Can't create semaphore lock
There seems to be something wrong with a handling (m_lock = method of lock) of semaphore mechanism-- It appears to be a program issue, which is either on your local machine or a remote Web site' page(s).
'semaphore' Apple definition (quotation from ADC) :
A programming technique for coordinating activities in which multiple processes compete for the same kernel resources. Semaphores are commonly used to share a common memory space and to share access to files. Semaphores are one of the techniques for interprocess communication in BSD.
In short, it is a flag to terminate a task/thread efficiently without fail prior to another task/thread starts-- a synchronization mechanism among cooperating threads/tasks. (You might need to have some understanding of the basic concepts of locks and semaphores.)
I would test any suspect applications to uninstall temporarily to see if the erratic events are displayed on Console. Perhaps, vlc player?
