Heh. Is someone working on Windows here? There's a known issue that
the JVM holds onto file handles until a garbage collection, which
prevents deletion if the file has recently been used. Instead of
sleeping, you may want to hint to the JVM about a garbage collection,
then retry. Not an issue on UNIX as unlink() works with outstanding
file descriptors referencing the file, by design.
This recently cost me half a day of debugging effort.
