I have a cocoa program that will read these index files and
fetch the appropriate data from the big file, plot it and store as an

concerned that a conflict will arise if two threads are reading into
the same file.
As long as each thread opens its own file descriptor, you'll be fine.
Each descriptor has its own cursor. The thing you shouldn't do is
share a single file descriptor between threads (unless you use the
pread/pwrite API, which is stateless.)
