[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#550823: Acknowledgement (octave3.2: Race condition with multiple Octave instances when creating M-files on the fly)

[Sébastien Villemot]

Well, actually it's not a race between multiple instances of Octave, but
between Octave and unlink().

The following is enough for triggering the bug:

$ touch foo3.m && rm -f foo3.m && octave foo2.m

While the following works fine:

$ touch foo3.m && rm -f foo3.m && sleep 1 && octave foo2.m
