Description
If multiple Mantid processes are started on Windows you get a cryptic message on the console "Cannot open file" for all but the first one. It turns out that this is coming from the logging framework - the first time (& only the 1st time) the second process tries to log something to the mantid.log file it finds it cannot open it.
I'm not sure this is if sufficient concern to try and fix, but I thought I'd record it nonetheless.
N.B. You don't see the message with MantidPlot as it goes to stderr, though the issue is presumably still there.

I guess the answer here is to make the path for the log file local to the executable
