        // with the IBM and Sun JVMs. From the Sun website:
        // "File.mkdirs fails to create the entire hierarchy of
        // directories if another application or thread creates
        // one of the intervening directories while mkdirs is
        // running."
        //
        // Synchronizing here will at least protect the app
        // from clobbering itself. There is not much that can
        // be done to protect from an external process creating
        // colliding directory names.
        //

        File dirPath = new File(dirName);
