This test reproduces the problem for me, but it's not deterministic. With the loop, I get roughly one fail per test run: FAIL Rename folder back --- T051-new-renames.27.expected 2014-02-23 21:37:10.121774241 +0000 +++ T051-new-renames.27.output 2014-02-23 21:37:10.121774241 +0000 @@ -1 +1 @@ -No new mail.
