Hi, This is a bug report about rm (package fileutils, version 4.1-1) on W2K. Test case: take 2 cygwin shells. shell 1: mkdir /tmp/directory vi /tmp/directory/file shell 2: /bin/rm -rf /tmp/directory The shell2 doesn't manage to remove the directory and goes into an infinite loop, taking 100% of the CPU. All is then OK if we go out of vi in the shell1. Doing the same thing (deleting the directory) directly in Windows produces an error message: "cannot delete directory: Access is denied. The source file may be in use" and we can notice in the directory a file named .file.swp that is also visible under Cygwin with ls -la. The example I have just given uses vi, but it is the same with all processes that open the file, as W2K puts a lock on it.
