This is a reprise of the fix in bdff7e3299d78; 6905c1f6 reintroduced
that bug. Briefly: windows doesn't seem to like deleting a mapped
file. I tried adding the PROT_SHARED_DELETE flag to the createfile
all, but that didn't actually fix this issue. Fortunately, the unit
test I added in 4f4fc63fea should
prevent us from making this particular screw-up again.
This patch also tries to limit the crash potential of a failure to
write by a little bit, although it could do a better job of retaining
microdescriptor bodies.
Fix for bug 8822, bugfix on 0.2.4.12-alpha.
