Re: More time spending with "delete pending"

BTW ... scraping the buildfarm logs for "could not open ... Permission
denied" failures suggests that pgwin32_open() isn't the pinnacle of
perfection either.  In the last three months I found these instances:

Now, the ones on the 10 and 11 branches are all from pg_ctl, which
does not use pgwin32_open() in those branches, only native open().
So those aren't fair to count against it.  But we have nearly as
many similar failures in HEAD, which surely is going through
pgwin32_open().  So either we don't really have adequate protection
against delete-pending files, or there is some other effect we haven't
explained yet.

A simple theory about that is that the 1-second wait is not always
enough on heavily loaded buildfarm machines.  Is it sensible to
increase the timeout?
