The good news is that I can't reproduce this test failure locally. There
are two possible reasons I can think of:

  * something's wrong with the version of APR used by the bot; it's
    1.5.x compared to 1.6.x that I use;
  * the filesystem on the bot is broken; but it's a RAMdisk that gets
    recreated for each test run and it would be extremely strange if it
    caused only that test to fail consistently.
