Most likely a race. It's impossible to atomically remove
a directory with Unix.
(There's a way to emulate that: first rename() the directory
to something unique and unpredictable, then rm -rf that
directory. But AFAIK, no rm implementation proceeds like this,
and there's still a small risk that it won't work.)
