I've just got back from a month-long business trip. Once things are back in
order, I will look at this bug.

In the meantime:

I don't have Windows XP. It would help if you could run symify on the
backtrace that rm gives you on aborting. If you build Fileutils 4.1 from
sources, you should get binaries with debugging symbols included & symify will
work. (I strip the debugging info, when I make binary packages.)

I was planning to do another release of Fileutils 4.1 sometime. If we can get
a fix for this in, it would be good.

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
