Some WAG things to try:
a) Put in a pause:
$ ls -il foo bar; touch foo && sleep 2 && strace link foo bar >
strace.out 2>&1 && ls -il foo bar
b) Completely uninstall the Embassy Trusted Security thing (or
whatever it's called).
c) Suspect (and, to test, uninstall (not just disable)) any realtime
virus scanners, personal firewalls, file indexers (google desktop
search) and anything else that hooks into file syscalls stuff.
(Especially do this if step (a) made any difference).
