I believe there is a race-condition in "mkdir -p". Specifically, if the directory does not exist *yet* when stat is called on line #98 of "coreutils-5.97/lib/mkdir-p.c", but the directory *does* exist by the time line #190 of the same file calls mkdir(), then the program will error with "File exists". I hit this occasionally when doing parallel builds. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
