Process Explorer doesn't show anything (I looked for the handle
"cygwin.old", i.e. the top level dir). I killed any process that I could
(including explorer) and stopped AntiVir, Apache and mysql. No change.

Anyway, those stale links cannot be accessed as files at all. I can only
see them using "ls" or apply chmod/chown on them. Nothing else. If I try
"cat file", it says "No such file or directory". File zombies.
