Comment (by kencu):

 Good work upstream.

 Current speculation is this test brings out a bug in “rm” that shows up
 intermittently, and must have been fixed by 10.6+.

 No fix for gnulib is likely, but worksrounds are to use “grm” from
 coreutils, or set {{{gl_cv_func_getcwd_succeeds_beyond_4k=no}}} in ports
 that use gnulib, at least on older OS versions.

 If that latter thing pans out and works, that would be a maintainable
 option. We should test that.

 Thanks, Peter
