Well, Windows has file locks, so tyically, if one program has a file open,
another can't have it open. So, I'd guess that either something has the file
open when you're running rdmd, so rdmd can't access it, or rdmd is trying to
access it from multiple processes and sometimes one of its processes is
accessing it when another one tries to. But I don't know if rdmd creates
multiple processes or not.

Personally, I wish that Windows didn't have file locks... :(

It's locked unless it's specified during the call to 
`CreateFile()` that the file can be shared for reading/writing 
(FILE_SHARE_READ / FILE_SHARE_WRITE).

And the executable file being run must not be shared for writing, 
because it's mapped.

lean and clean windows eventually starts grinding gears.

Thanks,

rdmd creates an executable and runs it immediately. If you have 
an antivirus, it may not complete its job in this rather short 
timeframe. Just run it again, AFAIK, rdmd caches the executable 
from the last compilation.

My guess, it's the executable file, which is opened by another 
process, if it's not completely written, running it would give 
even more funny results :)
