Hi all, I've been bitten lately by rm -rf on a directory occasionally
hanging. After some fooling around, I've come up with a simple way of
reproducing the problem. I'm currently using 1.3.12 of the DLL on Windows
2000 Professional SP2. Results from 'cygcheck -s -v -r' are attached.
I have a patch for this that I have not yet submitted. The unlink()
system call needs to rename the file to a temporary directory and
then remove the file.
I'll post the patch to cygwin-patches in a bit.
