I saw some mention of this problem here:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-07/msg00147.html

Is there a fix for this that works, or will be incorporated 
into a future version of cygwin?  I looked in the FAQ and
saw nothing about it.   I have some nightly scripts that clean
some directories, and if I leave a shell open in one of the
directories, the scripts just run forever trying to remove
the directory.
