Ok.  We seem to be slowly zeroing in on the problem.  Is someone willing
to debug what's going on?  Why are the files deleted with
VFORK/no-vfork?

Has anyone tried turning off VFORK in cygwin and seeing if that solves
the problem, too?

We need to understand what mechanism is not being triggered to delete these
files.
