task xml file corruption

Here is an example output and trace of an example corrumpted task file. I'll post the xml of the file in the next comment.

Commit f02fe717b7d16f83a94b40251f886a2e21e33f0a adds some debug() statements and also ensures every file is closed after write. Perhaps we were losing some data. We'll run like this for a while, should it not be reproducible with the additional fd.close() calls, we'll close this ticket out.
