You know, debugging over a remote (email) connection is pretty difficult. :)

If you want, we can try IRC, or something else.

You might try to simulate one of the tests. You can do something like this:
cd $builddir/tla/tests/homedir
export HOME=`pwd`
cd ../workdir
cd <whatever directory tla was running in>
gdb --args <the command that failed>

Is there a command to tell gdb to trace into child processes? Because
that is really what we want.

I could probably debug this at home if I was seeing the problem, but
unfortunately, all tests pass for me.
