Deleting locked files with cygwin

Hi,

It seems that when I delete a locked file under
cygwin, it removes the file when the locking process
unlocks it. Is there anyway to have it return an error
instead of having it scheduled for deletetion.

Thanks!!

Kevin

PS. This 'feature' can be really confusing.
I was gzipping locked webserver logs and they were
disappearing when the webserver rolledover the log. It
took me a while to figure out what was really
happening.
