Re: Strange configure behavior on Win 2K

Hmmm, sorry to follow up my own post so soon, but I seem to have at least
partially figured out this problem.  It appears that I lied when I said that
there was nothing else running that could (should?) be triggering this
problem...

With Norton's (SystemWorks 2002) Protected Recycle Bin DISABLED on the drive
that configure is writing to, everything is fine.  But with Protected
Recycle Bin ENABLED, I get the sporadic permission errors.  Does anyone have
a good feel for what is most likely at fault here?  Is this a problem with
Norton's Recycle Bin feature, and problem with some underlying Win 2K/Win 32
functionality, or a problem on the GNU/MinGW/mSys side?  I plan on posting
this problem to some other newsgroups, because I could see how this type of
thing could be triggering problems in other applications as well.  I'd
appreciate any specific insite or suggestions that any of you may happen to
have regarding this.

s/KAM


P.S. - I haven't yet tried reverting to Windows default Recycle Bin
handling.  Also FWIW, this is a single 2GHz P4 machine with tons of free RAM
and hard disk space.
