I don't know why my bug report appeared twice with the same bug number, but the
version answered by Paul Eggert was incomplete, so I'm not surprised that he
didn't understand. To answer: The point about hidden files is that I knew the
directory did not exist before I executed mkdir because I can see hidden files
and therefore I knew the directory I wanted to create did not exist even among
hidden files. Thus, the message is confusing.
I don't know what an example transcript is, even though I Googled the term. I
already quoted the response of mkdir under the circumstance.
Apparently, the problem is intermittent, but I don't know when it occurs and
when not.
