Hi Nick, I'm seeing intermittent failures since your new test was
added to 'next' on AIX 5.3

cvs commit: Up-to-date check failed for ` space'
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!
* FAIL 15: re-commit a removed filename which remains in CVS attic
* failed 1 among 15 test(s)

Is there a possibility this test has a race condition?

Hm, I have thought not, but what sort of a race condition did you have in mind?

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help debug it.

It could be a bug in the ancient CVS I have here (1.11.1p1) though.

I wouldn't be surprised.

I just saw this on a k.org machine that runs Fedora 9 (Sulphur); 1.11.22
is the version of CVS that comes with it.

But it does seem to be repeatable; I wouldn't rule out a race condition.
