I forgot to mention in the first email: I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 in a
RISC-V QEMU image, so it's not exactly your standard setup.

I've also made an interesting observation. If I descend to the very
bottom of the directory tree, I can trigger the following behaviour:
```
$ mkdir b
$ ls
a  b
$ rmdir b
rmdir: failed to remove 'b': File name too long
```
(the file 'a' was created from an earlier experiment.)
