> On Windows, occasionally you will see errors attempting to delete a database.   This manifests itself by 10-30% of the test suite failing on Windows.  If you retry the tests that failed, they will usually pass on subsequent attempts.  Running the tests individually causes them to fail roughly 10% of the time.
>  The log output shown is:
>   [debug] [<0.18650.6>] httpd 500 error response:
>    {"error":"error","reason":"eacces"}
>   [info] [<0.18650.6>] 127.0.0.1 - - 'DELETE' /test_suite_db/ 500
> A slightly snipped transcript from IRC:
> (2:58:32 PM) markh: I see a number of INFO logs "Shutting down view group server, monitored db is closing." directly before the error.  I was guessing the file may be unlink'd before one of those workers actually closes its handle?
> (2:58:54 PM) alisdair: yeah, it's probably a race condition
> (2:59:13 PM) alisdair: where the delete is tried before the fd is let go
> (2:59:26 PM) alisdair: the reader fd that is
> (2:59:32 PM) markh: yeah
> ...
> (3:11:47 PM) alisdair: i can't find an obvious deadlock
> (3:12:18 PM) alisdair: couch_server:delete explicitly waits for the db process to exit
> (3:12:23 PM) alisdair: before deleting it
> (3:15:15 PM) alisdair: i think i found the problem
> (3:15:23 PM) alisdair: but i need a windows machine to confirm
> (3:15:30 PM) alisdair: i'll look into it tomorrow
