Oh yes you're right. But then things still remain strange... Isn't
this:
test -d openssl || mkdir -p openssl
supposed to never give the `mkdir: openssl: File exists' error?
So I guess the real cause of that bug is not a race condition between
two mkdir -p commands. Haven't seen the error recently so can't exactly
tell, but it looks more like there is already an `openssl' that isn't a
directory.
