Description:

This error is very hard to reproduce. It happens in the innermost loop 
in nightly jobs. Four jobs run in parallel and three of them will pass this 
point around 800 times each night, the fourth job only about 100 times. 
The error happens about once every second week, i.e. about once out of 
50000 times. The data supplied below was collected two months ago but 
similar reports have been generated on Nov 17th, Dec 1st, Dec 17th, Jan 2nd 
and Jan 15th. 

The main script contains two nested for loops and each time a function do_build 
is called. do_build creates a directory /tmp/build.nnnn and 'cd' into it. 
A separate script is called to setup some needed files including a Makefile 
and then 'make info' is performed. 

Normally this works fine but in rare cases when do_build continues the files 
are not yet created. Either the setup script has not finished (error in the 
kernel or in bash?) or the directory inode is not yet updated (error in 
the kernel?). Of course the 'make info' fails when there is no Makefile! 
It has taken some time to understand what happens but now some data are 
collected and sent to me when 'make info' fails. 
Earlier the second 'make' also failed but during the data collection job 
the files appear and the second 'make' is now successful. 

The build machine has 4 CPUs and 4GB RAM, see info at the bottom.

Resulting mail. N.B. 'ls' reports only one file, the newly created symlink,
and the 'ps fx' result (pstree:) shows that the main script build_node.sh, 
pid 23678, has 2 (TWO!) children: pid 23986 running nsetup and pid 24001 
running 'ps fx' and 24001 has thus performed 'make info' which failed.
