Oops - for some reason, Windows thinks it needs to revive directory "a" once "b" is emptied out and removed. Extremely weird; unfortunately the fix requires that renaming on top of an existing directory will be non-atomic on cygwin. I'm debating about whether to rebase the current series to fold that fix into the existing cygwin 1.5 fixes, or whether to just do it as a separate patch.
Do you _really_ want to fix it if it is ok in cygwin 1.7? Who uses rename(dir, dir) anyway...
