Still, that's really not the problem. All Cygwin processes, except for
the handful which actually call chdir will lock their CWD from deletion
by other processes. Of course, we still have this problem with native
Win32 processes, but there's nothing we can do against that.

Erm... btw., how is that different from the message, if you need a
valid Win32 CWD in your hybrid app, use cygwin_internal(CW_SYNC_WINCWD)?
