Hmm ... I'd been thinking we don't use .DELETE_ON_ERROR, but on
second look we do, so that could be a plausible approach.
On balance though, the separate rule seems better, because
.DELETE_ON_ERROR would destroy the evidence about why "nm"
failed, which could be annoying when investigating problems.
