As an aside:
I also used to have some trouble with "rm -rf" of a directory
hierarchy failing more or less reproducibly (like: 80% of the
time) because files were presumably still "in use". Repeating
the command several times would succeed, though.
Downgrading from cygwin1.dll/1.7.9.1 to cygwin1.dll/1.7.8.1
seems to have solved that issue as well - still have to see
the first "retry to delete".
This may or may not be related to the original report, as it also reeks
of a race condition during file/directory operations.
Cheers,
Wolf
