Stupidity on my part. Pure stupidity.
/tmp/wine/wine64/wine is a symlink back into the git directory!

Title:
tmpfs: Deleted files keep reappearing
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I am trying to do a number of compilations, including bisects, etc. As
part of the process I delete all the files from a compilation so that
everything is nice and clean. However, some of these files keep
reappearing!
In this case I am bisecting Wine. To help I added an ltrace to the
Wine shell script...
I am compiling to /tmp/wine.
/tmp is a tmpfs mount.
I added ltrace to /tmp/wine/wine64/wine, which is a shell script. The last
line of that script being:
exec ltrace "$WINELOADER" "$@"
I have then deleted everything in this directory (multiple times).
When attempting to access /tmp/wine/wine64/wine I am told that the
file does not exist, as expected.
I then run a compilation.
On checking /tmp/wine/wine64/wine it contains the ltrace:
exec ltrace "$WINELOADER" "$@"
I thought it might just be bash, but I checked with Pluma and this
file contains ltrace – data I have deleted multiple times and should
have been overwritten.
I tried multiple "sync"s and dropping the caches, but it makes no
difference.
Why does this data keep reappearing? Why can't I delete a file? What
kind of madness is this?
There are no words for just how bad this is. In particular: this is
definitely a security issue.
If a user deletes a file, all I have to do is recreate a file with the
same name and I have access to all that user's data.
I've spent hours bisecting, but it turns out I cannot trust any of the
results as I have no guarantee that any of the files have actually
changed.
I haven't checked the upstream kernel yet, but I am aware that this is
required. It could take many hours.
