- How do you check that they are the same? (cmp command?)
- How does texexec check if another run is needed?
texexec calls texutil which converts a tui file into a tuo file (in the process 
it sorts indexes and such); when a job is aborted (or has errors) no tuo file is 
generated (saves an additional later run after a fix); copied from texexec:

use File::Compare;

sub RunTeXutil {
     my $StopRunning;
     my $JobName = shift;
     unlink "$JobName.tup";
     rename "$JobName.tuo", "$JobName.tup";
     print "  sorting and checking : running texutil\n";
     my $TcXSwitch = '';
     if ( $TcXPath ne '' ) { $TcXSwitch = "--tcxpath=$TcXPath" }
     RunPerlScript( $TeXUtil, "--ref --ij --high $TcXPath $JobName" );

     if ( -e "$JobName.tuo" ) {
         CheckPositions($JobName);
         $StopRunning = !compare( "$JobName.tup", "$JobName.tuo" );
     } else {
         $StopRunning = 1;
     }    # otherwise potential loop
     if ( !$StopRunning ) {
         print "\n utility file analysis : another run needed\n";
     }
     return $StopRunning;
}

maybe some file permissions problem?
