That's why I said "almost always" :-) I strongly suspect that snake is hitting the "file/directory doesn't disappear immediately when you unlink/rmdir" problem on Windows that we have had to code around inside Postgres. It looks like cvs is trying to prune an empty directory but isn't fast enough. I assume that snake just uses the Msys DTK's cvs? If so, I think we'll just have to live with this - it's not very frequent - snake's last occurrence on HEAD was 62 days ago. cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
