Yes, but it only contains a 23-octet long `index.KAF' containing the
following line:

  20                  NIL

The issue is that the first session (where `axiom-large.input' is passed
on axiom's standard input) _does_ create the `data.KAF' directory and
the `index.KAF' above but it outputs the following error message:

   >> Error detected within library code:
   File is not readable
   "data.KAF"

This message does not correspond to any actual read/open error from what
I can see from the output of `strace'.

Hope this helps,
Ludovic.
