Bleah.  This is apparently due to some "clever" code that I added to
cygwin which attempts to deal with removing a file that is already
opened by using the windows NT DELETE_ON_CLOSE facility.  It doesn't
appear to work right on samba shares.  The CreateFile/CloseHandle
works but the file is never deleted.

I have to think about the best way to deal with this.
