If I increase the sleep time before dropdb enormously (35 secs) the unlink errors seem to go away, and instead they become rmdir errors like the rest.
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.
No, testing shows you get "permission denied" rather than "directory not empty" in this case.
