Anyone has time for a unittesting issue?

Subtle point, thanks.

On the same topic, I think I found where the intermittent test failures 
are: https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/master/std/file.d#L3312

There, we list the full content of /tmp, recursively. That's not quite 
the right thing to do. Not only the run time is arbitrarily slow, but 
the test may file if certain subdirs are inaccessible. Vladimir, maybe I 
can convince you to find a better solution for that, too? :o)
