 Yes, it doesn't support concurrent use of the same file by more than one
application. You should create a lock file (or use wxSingleInstanceChecker
which, in spite of its name, can be used by different programs and not only
by different instances of the same program) to prevent this from happening.
Or use different config files for different applications, of course.
