IIRC that issue got fixed not so many months ago in cygwin, and I can confirm that it now seems to work: $ cat test.c #include int main(void) { int fd = open("blip", O_RDONLY); pause(); } $ gcc test.c -o test $ touch blip $ ./test & $ rm blip $ touch blip $ ./test & $ touch blop $ mv blop blip So maybe debian-win32 could just be awaken since the barring issue seems gone?
