Do you have anything equivalent to ps that you could use to check
whether there is still an old backend alive during this interval?
Does Windows forbid deleting a directory that is the current working
directory of some process (assuming they even have the same concept
of cwd as Unixen)? If so, is this the same error symptom you would get?
I am wondering if the rmdir failure occurs because an old backend is
still chdir'd into the database directory.
