I do not believe that should be the case under normal Windows operation.
Using a Sleep in a case like this is always a hack. Sometimes it is the
only way, but it can fail randomly, especially under stress. There is
likely something else going on. Could be poorly written antivirus software,
or a finalizer that has not run in your go app, or something else. If it is
ok for it to work "most of the time", then maybe your Sleep() solution is
sufficient. But if you need real reliability, I suggest figuring out what
is really going on.
