	It turns out that I'm vying for the prize for world's biggest dofus. I
got this again just now, and lent some thought to what I was doing
beforehand; and I _imagine_ the reason I see this and [typically] no-one
else does, is that I run the ORBit2 regression tests a fair bit, which
include the wonderful line:

	rm -Rf "/tmp/orbit-$USER"

	;-) so there is no problem, or at least - there is in that test, I'll
try and re-work it shortly.

	Regards,
