At the time, two builds were running, 5-i386 and 6-i386, manually
launched with 'tc tinderbuild ... -nullfs' in separate xterms.
I have HOST_WORKDIR set to /local/work, so the builds will have been
under /local/work/builds/<buildname> -- I also tried without (/tbox is
also a local filesystem on this machine), with the same effect.
The interesting issue is that it doesn't happen consistently -- ie:
most ports got built without these weird errors (I was building x11/
gnome2-lite at the time). Looks like some kind of race condition
somewhere.
Doing builds one at a time (ie: cycling through {5,6,7,8}-i386) shows
no errors like this.
