Comment (by rhaas):

 I agree with Frank that I cannot reproduce this. However error handling in
 this case should actually detect this and abort much earlier. The attached
 patch tests for $ROOT being a folder (if it exists at all) as early as
 possible and aborts with an error if this is not the case.
