mintty --log overwrites existing logfile in place

The mintty --log option is very useful but opens logfile without O_TRUNC
or O_APPEND:
mintty-1.0.1/child.c:
// Open log file if any
if (*cfg.log) {
log_fd = open(cfg.log, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0600);
if (log_fd < 0)
error("open log file");
}
Then it is sometimes difficult to determine where the new log output
ends :-)
I would suggest to add O_APPEND.
Thanks,
Christian
