I noticed that the process isn't around anymore. Did anyone killed it,
or maybe it just crashed? Also noticed some trash removing commands were
running. Regardless of the root cause of the problem, getting rid of the
trash directory before the next evaluation seems like a good idea.

Thanks,

Mathieu
