I think it's the problem that a shell keeps a fd open to the shell
script's file.
Example:
---- snip ----
$ cat shellfd.ksh
#!/bin/ksh93
# shell script printing the fd which the shell
# process has open right now
ls -l /proc/$$/fd/
true # needed here so ksh93 doesn't make a tail optimisation
exit 0
$ bash shellfd.ksh
total 0

$ ksh93 shellfd.ksh

---- snip ----
So both bash4 an ksh93 keep a fd to the shell script ("shellfd.ksh")
around (I even tried /usr/bin/shcomp to make shell bytecode, but the
issue remains...)
And here comes the nasty part: If shellfd.ksh is on a network
filesystem (in my test setup my home dir, mounted at H:), then in some
cases (I do not know why) a $ net use Z: /delete # will fail with
error #1794 if both network filesystems are from the same server.
This is NOT the same as the script tries to unmount the filesystem it
is residing on - Z: is mounted separately, and a different exported
directory than H:, and yet I can reproduce that issue (after around
30-40 experiments, until I remembered that ksh93 keeps a fd to the
script open).
This sounds a lot like a Windows bug.
Martin: Do you have more than one network filesystem mounted on your machine ?

Bye,
Roland
P.S.: There is no way to close the fd to the script from within the
same script, e.g. $ command exec 10<&- # will the trigger the shell
interpreters just to |dup()| the fd to another number.
