Well, now you know why avoid Unix as far as possible :-)

The problem just got worse.

I tried to create the release for 8.1.0-beta2 using 'make release'.
The way, Rob had set it up, one has to assign the release id as the
tag for the latest revision in bazaar, which I did.

Then 'make release' proceeded to delete the version.txt and
version.texi files from the directories and created new ones.  But the
trace shows a wrong version id, and in the end these files weren't
there anyway.  So, the make failed.  See the trace below.
