Comment(by creswick):

 Replying to [comment:5 simonmar]:
 > I can't reproduce it with 6.12.1, 6.12.3 or HEAD on Windows Server 2008,
 on local and remote filesystems.  Is there anything strange about your
 setup?  The MSDN description of the error sounds odd: "The volume for a
 file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer
 valid."

 The description *does* sound weird.

 We're running in VMs here, but that's the only thing I know of that could
 be a factor (and, of course, it really shouldn't be a factor...)
