An easier way of reproducing it:
d:\acl62\src\cl\src>ls -l foo.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 layer None 6 Jan 28 14:39 foo.out
d:\acl62\src\cl\src>sh -c 'rm foo.out'
d:\acl62\src\cl\src>ls -l foo.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 layer None 6 Jan 28 14:39 foo.out
d:\acl62\src\cl\src>rm foo.out
d:\acl62\src\cl\src>ls -l foo.out
ls: foo.out: No such file or directory
d:\acl62\src\cl\src>which rm
/usr/bin/rm
d:\acl62\src\cl\src>
I uninstalled my virus scanner (Norton 2002), thinking it might be the
cause. No change.
I tried another machine that has the same versions of all the cygwin
programs as my machine. The bug does _not_ happen there.
Does anyone have any clue where I can look? This bug is killing me.
