[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I've attached the trace.

Since 'make install' was succeeding in compressing the .el files, I had to
manually uncompress them before running the test.

find errored as expected on my CentOS7 machine, so hopefully the strace
should show the same behaviour.

Thanks,
Steve
