I didn't claim it was unreasonable for shutil.rmtree to barf, and I
have no interest in making that test. As mentioned before, Copernic's
use of the filesystem hooks drives CVS crazy too. It's a new app, and
using the filesystem hooks transparently is a subtle undertaking.
They'll fix it eventually.
