No.

An unexpected event on unrelated file "/tmp/signed-bad.elcBJAl1B"
happened while watching directory "/tmp".

I've fixed this by adding an own subdirectory below "/tmp", which will
be watched for the test. Committed to the emacs-26 branch, because only
a test file is changed.

If the problem happens again, pls reopen the bug.

Best regards, Michael.
