It shouldn't, but it does...sometimes. You can take care of it by
changing all references to "bin/circle" in Makefile to "bin/circle.new"
and add something like this after the while statement in autorun:
if [-r bin/circle.new]; then
mv bin/circle.new /bin/circle
fi
You can also move circle to circle.old if you've got the hard drive space,
which will let you debug a core when you've compiled.
