OK, I'll look at it when I'll be back on a Linux box. rename()
is _badly_ broken. Much worse than you think. Sorry, that's definitely
_not_ for a public list. Clean fix will take some changes in dcache (we
need an analog of BSD deadfs. Badly.) So it will probably take 2-3 days.
ObYourReport: could you try to reproduce it on 130? I don't think that
it can be caused by some side effect of rmdir changes, but... Murphy is
watching us, as ever ;-<
