> There are at least two tests that fail randomly on Windows due to non-POSIX file deletion semantics. The problem is that Windows doesn't guarantee that a file is deleted immediately if there's another open handle on the file. (I'm still not sure what other processes open handles on random files. It might be virus scanners, but there are also sources that claim that internal Windows services like the Volume Shadow Copy Service are responsible.)
> It's possible that only the test suite is affected but I'd prefer a global solution to this problem. I think the best approach is to do something like Cygwin: instead of deleting a file, move it to the recycle bin and set the delete-on-close flag. Unfortunately, it's rather complicated to implement this properly. See the [Cygwin source code|https://github.com/mirror/cygwin/blob/master/winsup/cygwin/syscalls.cc], functions {{unlink_nt}} and {{try_to_bin}}.
