I'll try to get it to happen again and investigate deeper soon.

Thanks! I don't really understand why it seems to be non-deterministic,
but this seems to mostly fix it. I did get this warning though:

disable..................No root path(s) specified at /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/Command.pm line 95

I see tests/disable.pl contains one of the few remaining rm_rf's; is
there a reason for that?

Thanks
