how do I find out which file is running if /proc/<pid>/exe cannot be
opened?
if open(/proc/<pid>/exe) fails, this means that the executable has been
removed!
oh wait, this is cygwin...
are you saying that open(/proc/<pid>/exe) tries to open foo.exe, not
foo, and fails because it is locked by windows because it is a running
executable?
