Not intentional as much as it is unfortunate because of the nature of ...

the Windows OS.  Cygwin has an array of removed file structure items
that could not be removed because of the nature of the OS.  The file

of getcwd() could check the list of items waiting to be removed but I'll
leave that to someone else to say.
