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. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
