Interchange will never partially read a session file (unless you
intentionally modify or truncate it during a read), because Unix
filesystem semantics mean that deleting (unlinking) a file does not make
it go away until the last open file descriptor to it closes. So you can
delete a file while it's open and that won't affect the read at all. It
just means no other processes can open it, and after it's closed, it'll be
gone.
