Shown below is an extract from the traces of make installcheck in contrib. It is decorated with some extra traces I built into src/port/dirmod.c::rmtree(). It shows quite reproducible failure of rmtree(), mostly at the rmdir calls, but even more worryingly there are consistent unlink failures also.
I kinda suspect that what you are looking at is a problem with the delayed-unlinking feature that we built to cope with Windows' inability to unlink open files, ie, it's being a little too slow to do the unlinks. Would you refresh my memory about exactly where and when the unlink happens if the initial try fails?
Same file, although Bruce says that looping code is now redundant, as we open files in a way that allows unlinking even if they are open.
