Sounds a bit like a design flaw that different thread are writing into one file. Maybe you create another file writer thread. ;-)

In my opinion, having all the threads write to the same file is unnecessarily complicated. I would make a 1KB buffer and a custom routine to write your data into it with a mutex or critical section to control access. Your threads can write into the buffer until its full at which time the threads terminate. The primary thread could be signaled when that happens and it could then write the data to the file and terminate the process. This seems pretty simple to me as long as you know how to manage threads.

You need to have One extra threads.
* Writer, that writes data into file.
* You need to have Queue, Worker thread will push data into queue
* Both Queue will have to be thread safe.
* Each worker thread will generate it's own data and push to a queue.
* Writer thread will pop data from Queue and write into files.
