We require atomicity on the file handle https://github.com/JuliaParallel/MPI.jl/blob/3b8963c7fe9a04c12aaf1725aca8cb46730d3c5c/test/test_io_shared.jl#L24, but we still seem to run into non-atomic updates...

This occurs also on macOS: #879. I don't think we've ever seen the failure on Linux.

NOTE: the test was skipped on Windows with #665, in case someone wanted to try and run the tests and see whether this is still an issue.
