Comment (by makos):

 I can provide example outputs based on compiled ghc (old/new):

 Original behaviour:
 {{{
 System.Directory.renameFile "a.a" ""
 *** Exception: a.a: renameFile:renamePath:rename: does not exist (No such
 file or directory)
 }}}


 Updated behaviour:
 {{{
 System.Directory.renameFile "a.a" ""
 *** Exception: a.a: renameFile:renamePath:rename: does not exist (2) (No
 such file or directory)

 }}}
