You can see this by opening two bash shells and executing Creating symlinks is not an atomic process in Cygwin. It requires several OS calls to create a symlink.

RE: test -f occasionally fails on sym links (keychain related)
Hi All... Cut and paste error...I wanted to say execute while :; do rm foo; ln -s $$ foo; done in the first one. The line I used was part of furhter debugging work. From: "Karl M" Subject: test -f occasionally fails on sym links (keychain related) Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2005 09:37:30 -0800 Hi All... While doing some testing with keychain and the snapshots while getting ready to release a keychain service package (still working on it)...I noticed the following Sometimes doing a [ -f foo ]; will show a false true while the symlink is being created. You can see this by opening two bash shells and executing while :; do echo $$> foo.lnk; rm foo.lnk; done in the first one and while :; do if [ -f foo ]; then echo here; else echo "there"; fi; done in the second one.
