/tmp/t/dir2/dir2</lang> That said, the behavior now is much better than what it used to be. If I remove the second mkdir line, and delete the directories and run that again, I get <lang>/tmp/t/dir2

: Generally speaking, you should try to comprehend what the code is doing. That said, I have not noticed any abusive code here, yet.
