Ah, I was asking for the output of a shell session (or however you invoked 
'mkdir'). The idea is that we would like to reproduce the bug, and need a recipe 
to do that.

If you're using GNU/Linux, the strace output would be quite helpful, e.g., run 
the shell command:

strace -o tr.txt mkdir foobar

and then send us a copy of the file tr.txt, assuming 'mkdir foobar' fails in the 
way you describe.
