Ok. I was able to duplicate this behavior with the Cygwin CD DLL. It
is apparently a long standing bug which Corinna fixed just a couple of
days after the CD was pressed.
I have also changed the error returned from "EISDIR" to "EPERM" as was
suggested by another post. I was confused by the behavior of 'rm' which
must be doing its own checking. A simple program that performs an
unlink() returns EPERM on every UNIX system that I tested it on.
