    Could anyone provide more help on debugging this? I run Emacs as
    Richard suggested. I got interrupted from time to time and almost each
    time I check if 'emacs' is still there by using 'ls -l'. However,
    'emacs' is being deleted and I can't tell when it is deleted.

I am not sure what your message means.

Are you saying that when the file is deleted, you have established
positively that there is NO call to either `unlink' or `rename'?
