Virus checking software or similar "helpful" Windows-only phenomena? Various 
projects recommend excluding their directories from such software's coverage 
tables so that the "helpful" process that wants to "scan" files all the time 
doesn't happen to have a file open (and thus on Windows, exclusively locked) 
when the project's software needs to open it.

Maybe this is something different, though, but it's something for the 
troubleshooting checklist whenever Windows is involved.
