I believe there is a race-condition in "mkdir -p". Specifically, if the
directory does not exist *yet* when stat is called on line #98 of
"coreutils-5.97/lib/mkdir-p.c", but the directory *does* exist by the
time line #190 of the same file calls mkdir(), then the program will
error with "File exists".
I hit this occasionally when doing parallel builds.
The coreutils list would be a nice place to send this, unless you have
reason to believe that only Cygwin is affected?
