WARNING: could not remove database directory

Hi list,

I am working with Postgres 8.0.0 final on a SuSE Linux 9.2 box. I tried

dropdb ax20050206
WARNING: could not remove database directory
"/export/home/postgres/data2/base/115101837"
DROP DATABASE

(maybe there was still some vacuum activity on the database...)

a) There was a posting in
http://search.postgresql.org/archives.search?cs=utf-8&fm=on&st=20&dt=back&q=%22could+not+remove+database+directory%22&ul=http%3A%2F%2Farchives.postgresql.org%2Fpgsql-general%2F%25&dp=0&o=0&ps=10&s=date
I have the same phenomenon, however with the final release, and with
linux. Is the bug still there?
b) Can I safely remove the directory by hand?

Greetings,
Hubert
