When you close a file Windows doesn't do it immediately, it waits for a fraction before doing it. This presents a problem for programs like CVS which rely heavily on the filesystem. The code is structured to avoid this problem and it's extremely rare to trigger it nowadays. I can only guess that in this case something managed to keep the file open just fractionally too long (possibly memory pressure - 2.0.41 eats memory on large file operations). Tony
