See https://travis-ci.org/solson/miri/builds/265176951 for an example. Re-running the test usually fixes this. I seem to remember I even saw that locally.

Ah dang, it seems restarting the build erases the log.

I've seen it before, too. Might be a race condition on the disk in compiletest

[RalfJung]

I agree. Maybe it deletes the temp files too early?
