First of all, it creates a deep chain of directories with the name 'confdir-14B---' at each level. Then the creation process fails at a rather deep nesting level. At this point, tools such as Bash have problems processing the directory name. And, worse still, the directory chain can't be removed.
FWIW, I found this same problem time ago trying to install 1.26 (I think) on an old laptop running GNU/Linux. I do not remember how I managed to remove the directory chain.
