What version of Windows are you on? This is certainly a strange error to be
getting. Perhaps we have a file handle open somewhere, but if we did, I would
expect us to get that error all the time on all Windows platforms.

You might try using the Win32 version, available for download from:

http://bazaar-vcs.org/WindowsDownload

In general, it will be faster than the cygwin version (because cygwin wraps
access to the filesystem in its translation layer). And it will have proper
support for Unicode (since cygwin does not).
