Have You Ever Seen This?

This is not a quiz. It's something that just happened to me. I'm just wondering if I'm the only one who are experiencing this.

I've seen it when I deleted the dir from another shell or when I unmounted the dir.

I'm in a bash shell in Cygwin on Windows XP Pro at my home directory which is on a network drive served from a Linux server through SAMBA. It's a transient phenomenon lasting a few seconds at a time.

I don't really know who's at fault here. But I suspect network latency plays a role.

Oh that is odd. I'd try running "dir" from a command prompt at the same time.

All the times I rm -rf the current directory (or a parent), from another shell. For instance, if you're in a Ant 'build' and run 'ant clean build'.
