"cargo install": infinite recursion

[kud1ing]

Calling cargo install (without any arguments) results in errors like:

cp: /Users/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny/.cargo/work/tGnlPAS6QQdJa96gcargo/lenny: name too long (not copied)

It seems that cargo creates a recursive copy of my home directory under "/.cargo" - including "/.cargo", which recurses infinitely.

some os:: fault I think.

Maybe this

fn need_dir(s: &Path) {
    if os::path_is_dir(s) { return; }
    if !os::make_dir(s, 493_i32 /* oct: 755 */) {
        fail fmt!("can't make_dir %s", s.to_str());
    }
}

Closing because Cargo is obsolete as of version 0.6,
