Effectively, the leafnode 1.9.19 spool can only be moved to directories
that have the same count of characters in their name. I consider this an
unnecessary restriction. I'm sticking to what my *ma versions do, and
texpire -r of rc5 should be able to repair this (the -r option makes
texpire very slow, so only use it after the update or after you
corrupted your spool). I hope it doesn't brake anything.
