`mv' is now in bin_PROGRAMS in src/Makefile.in, so it no longers needs
moving from /usr/bin.

Just for reference, bin_PROGRAMS installs programs with the the
executable bits set to ${bindir}.

Thanks. When preparing a response to Chris, I looked at the Makefile and realised that the results I was looking at couldn't have been down to that bit of the Makefile. I was also sceptical because Coreutils has very good Changelog and NEWS entries and `mv' didn't show up in them.

I still haven't a clue what caused me to obtain the original error message, but I can't seem to reproduce it now :( That would seem to hint at a race condition like Bryan originally alluded to.

Regards,

Matt.
