OK. Have you investigated the use of tools I suggested to help you track
down which utilities are causing you the problem(s)? That would be a good
start to narrowing down your issue into something this list can discuss,
assuming that's where you'd like to take this.
Of course, you're always welcome to review the current implementation of
unlink() to see if you can suggest improvements. It's worthwhile though
to review past discussions on this issue to make sure you don't end up
just rehashing old threads. But new ideas are always welcome, particularly
if they solve some long-standing problems! ;-)

Well - even so .... "my" problem remains .... The scripts that I have are
written to work cross-platform,
and because I can't use rm -rf when telneting to a cygwin box with an
automated telnet/ssh script,
I have to do this nonsense:
if ($telnet_handle->{$hostlabel}->{OS} eq 'cygwin') {
($stdout,$stderr)=$telnet_handle->{_cmd_handle}->cmd("cmd /c del /s
$dir");
} else {
($stdout,$stderr)=$telnet_handle->{_cmd_handle}->cmd("cmd /c rm -r
$dir");
}
I'd rather not have to do this!!

Max corrected me:
> No. The thing that rm -rf gets stuck on is vim .swp recovery file.
Ah. Sorry. Should have straced the thing before shooting off.
