 When working with an attached file it seems that saving it (at least with
 'gedit' on our file system) sometimes causes a temporarily disappearance
 on that file. I have no idea, if this is caused by the
 used file system (mounted NFS) , but sometimes I get from sage ( at least
 for 6.4.beta6)

  ### detaching file /home/......./stuff.sage because it does not exist
 (deleted?) ###

 this can be emulated by
 {{{
 sage: attach ("~/stuff.sage")

 console>  mv ~/stuff.sage /tmp/; touch /tmp/stuff.sage;  sleep 1; mv
 /tmp/stuff.sage ~/stuff.sage
 }}}

 Proposal
 1. add a little timeout to the detaching process (maybe already the case)
 2. control the timeout by an optional timeout argument for the attach()
 routine
