rm (GNU coreutils) 5.97

This is the version from Debian/testing.

Tried, and this is even worse: I got the error for *every* file:

courge:~/software>  \rm -r zsh-4.3.2

zsh: exit 130

(interrupted by Ctrl-C). Reproduced 3 times (out of 3) when zsh-4.3.2
was created on another machine[*], whereas the old rm (/bin/rm) doesn't
have this problem under the same conditions.

[*] doublejack (so that I can remember).
