Anyway, thank you both very much for your help. I still have some hair left.

Re: file renaming on windows
The reason is simple. Windows uses mandatory locking while Linux uses advisory locking thus it is possible to ignore the lock on Linux but not on Windows (the latter causes inability to reopen a file after a crash of an application holding a lock to the open file).Originally Posted by jdd81
