Heh.


I've been looking at this bug, and I'm not impressed. It looks like
a VM/unionfs problem, however there are plenty of other unionfs weirdnesses
(including one where if you pwd while running a script which happens
to exist in the upper directory and not the lower one, it returns the
upper dir pathname, breaking lots of configure type stuff. I don't
know whether this is a bad thing or not, to be honest :-) which I'm
going to be looking at over the next few weeks and submit some patches.
