That shouldn't be too hard, but is there really no better solution?
Why doesn't windows have fsync?  I mean, it must have some system call
that does exactly the same thing, but cygwin just doesn't map it?

From my reading it seems that the python2.4/cygwin version I have got should support it - there was fsync bugs in older versions. How do i do a test to see if it works - do you have a simple test script I can run? Disabling it is not optimal i agree, but a warning would be sufficient I think.

thanks
