Could this be related to encryption of home directory? In my experience that could add a noticeable delay before disk space is freed up. Is it possible to safely re-use a previously malloc-ed test-file, or would that introduce lots of other issues? (It sounds non-ideal, each tests should run independently from a clean state). What about truncating the file before it's deleted? -- Stian Soiland-Reyes Apache Taverna (incubating), Apache Commons http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9842-9718
