This is on Linux, so it would be using the linux inotify backend.
Let me add Eric to the "To:" line for visibility. And see if he
has experienced this during his development of it.
I've not looked at the inotify code so I can't say if there are
races there or not. Tests that move directories feel like good
candidates for race conditions -- since the daemon doesn't get a
recursive view of the tree with inotify() and must simulate that
and manage the individual directories, but again I don't want to
assume that.
