I investigated this a while ago when I had some time and narrowed it
down to code in the APR (apr_file_rename or something, can't remember
exactly) calling MoveFileEx -- the move would fail sporadically (on my
WinXP dual-processor machine only) with Access Denied. It possibly
could be a bug in that Win32 function (the Access Denied return code is
odd...usually you get file already in use or something unless it really
is a security problem...which this isn't), but various attempts at
reproducing it in a simple test program failed, so I changed it to
follow the Win9x method of Delete/MoveFile. I have made a note to
myself to continue this investigation, but won't have time until the end
of next week probably.
It does seem unlikely to me that it's a bug in MoveFileEx, but I'm not
convinced it isn't yet either. It also could be a result of something
earlier going wacky (maybe the file did not get the read-only attribute
turned off successfully or something?).
