Hmm ... the other thing that I just remembered is that I first noticed
this problem on 1.7.5-1 on Win7, and the thing that made me suspicious
was that replacing the offending command with:
strace rm -f -r ...
made the command suddenly work! But ...
sleep 1 ; rm -f -r ...
failed in the same way :-(
I haven't tried reproducing this particular behaviour on 1.7.7 (yet).
