Reproducable every time. Take the rlocate recipe and remove the  
${target}/Resources/Unmanaged part from the moduledir configure_variable  
and try to Compile it using fibosandbox. Compile then dies on installation  
and leaves the above mentioned link and directory. If you correct th  
recipe, adding the Unmanaged path, and run Compile again, without cleaning  
things up, you end up with the bug.
