Sharing Violation Mystery


Hi;

I'm using the latest cygwin( fresh download of installer and files last week ) and windows 2000.

I have a mysterious sharing violation issue which I hope someone here can help me solve.

If I create or rename something within a directory I will become incapable of deleting as well as renaming that directory.

I will not be able to rename or delete the directory in question until I reboot windows.

I have taken screen shots of the output of taskmanager in this situation and immediately after a fresh reboot. I could not find any differences in the processes between the two screenshots of taskmanager. There is nothing obvious that is running, holding onto the directory, and showing up in taskmanager.

Yes, I have emptied the directories in question and shut off all other programs.

I am posting this problem here because I noticed that it will only happen within the C:\cygwin heirarchy. Ugh, that is where it hurts the most as I try to keep all of my files in C:\cygwin\home\stever :).

My login id for windows 2000 is "stever", yet when I run ls -l in bash I see "Administ" as the owner to all of my files.

Is this situation supposed to be like this?

Thanks in advance for any clues

Steve
