[New-bugs-announce] [issue15556] os.stat fails for file pending delete on Windows

[Jeremy Kloth]

New submission from Jeremy Kloth:

os.stat fails when called on a file that is pending delete but is still in the directory listing.

This in turn causes os.path.exists to return the wrong result.

Attached is a test case demonstrating this broken behavior.
