In my opinion it is MacPorts that cannot delete the tree. It works to perform
this manually. When I can do it, why is port failing? Maybe it sets other
limits, or inherits them from Tcl.
The problem seems to be different on very ancient and peculiar Tiger where one
can create directory trees much longer than (in theory) allowed that even
manual rm fails (so that one has to move sub-trees away to somewhere else to be
able to delete the whole tree finally, in portions).
