Description
Can be reproducing by running the bootstrap script. After it finished, there will be several empty `cabal-$NUM` directories in `/tmp`.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the bootstrap script and inspect the generated cabal-$NUM directories in /tmp after it finishes. Trace where those temporary directories are created and cleaned up; done means the bootstrap run leaves no empty cabal-$NUM directories behind.
