I had a look at the log files, and the reason t-io_raw failed is because it
was unable to create a file to write to.
This might be due to a virus checker, disk full, not having administrator
privileges, the Windows file system being overloaded, or a bug we aren't
aware of.
I certainly don't see an obvious way to resolve or further track down the
issue. We'll keep an eye on other build reports and see if the issue pops
up again anywhere else.
