path/filepath: TestBug3486 failure

[alberts]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I don't really understand what's going on here.

Run tests with:

go test -v -short -cpu 1,2,4,8,16,256 std

repeatedly.

What do you see instead?

=== RUN TestBug3486
--- FAIL: TestBug3486 (0.11 seconds)
path_test.go:936: lstat /build/go.tip/go/src/pkg/os/append.txt: no such file or directory

Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?

6g

Which operating system are you using?

linux

Which version are you using?  (run 'go version')

go version devel +ddb4f9feee8b Thu Jul 11 08:47:29 2013 +1000 linux/amd64

Please provide any additional information below.

This is the second time I've seen this failure. The first one was a few days ago.

/build is a tmpfs. Hopefully that doesn't matter.

I can't imagine why append.txt would disappear while path/filepath tests are running.
Nothing else should be doing anything in /build/go.tip.
