Actually the tests I ran in response to this thread used the most current vim (6.1-2) and fileutils (4.1-1) with cygwin 1.3.17-1, 1.3.18-1, and the latest snapshot. The versions you're using are out-of-date. But I expect the main difference is in vim and some change there. But perhaps you can

Hi Gael, This is not a bug. rm will *not* be able to remove the file as long as it is locked. This is the expected behaviour of rm when it is trying to remove something which is locked by windows. AFAIK, rm, in cases such as these, echoes an error message which says, for example: "rm: cannot r
