Re: Executable deleted after first run

[Richard Stallman]

    I spoke too soon. It happened again but I have no idea how to
    reproduce. Just make sure the user running Emacs has the 'write'
    access to file 'emacs' in bin dir and after sometime it will happen.

If you make a practice of always running Emacs under gdb, does it
still fail?

If so, you could then try putting a breakpoint at `unlink' and another
breakpoint at `rename'.  These breakpoints will be hit occasionally
for legitimate reasons, so I hope you can suffer through that for a
few days.  That way, you will see if the deletion of the executable
hits one of these breakpoints.
