Hi Mary, Giovanni,
i encountered the same problem with svnmerge.exe and tracked it down
some while ago. I wondered that Pyinstaller left behind lots of _MEI*
directories in the temp directory. Removing all these directories
caused svnmerge.exe to be reliable again.
Checking the code i discovered that it's indeed a timing issue. In
line 43 of launch.c the return value of the remove() function is not
checked. Removing the executed binary (and in succession the
directory) fails quite often since the file handle is not yet released
by the O/S yet. Replacing the lines
1042 else
1043 remove(fnm);
by
1042 else if (remove(fnm))
1043 {
1044 /* spend a tick to release file handle */
1045 Sleep(100);
1046 remove(fnm);
1047 }
turned out to fix the problem. It's just a workaround - i'm sure,
there exists a better solution.
I hope that helps.
