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?

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.

cvs status: Examining .
===================================================================
File:  space            Status: Needs Patch

As it's a file from the previous tests being fingered, I've cc'd a
couple of likely lads.
