It did complain about missing Makefile, but only when I did ls -l. If I just 
do ls, it lists the Makefile. I checked the next snapshot (20111112) and it 
still says missing Makefile.

All the files are dated January 30, 00:35/36 UTC. I run snapshots at 5:01 UTC. 
So it couldn't have been caused by the snapshot. I don't normally build 
programs when the computer's about to run hammer, as anything disk-bound gets 
slow while it's hammering the disk.
