SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to delete a read-only file from a mapped network file system (NFS)
share by using Windows Explorer or from a command prompt, the file may appear to
have been deleted. However, the file may reappear if you press F5 to refresh
Windows Explorer, or if you use the dir command at a command prompt.

CAUSE
=====

This problem can occur when a logic error generates an incorrect status report
that indicates the file deletion was successful when it was not.

RESOLUTION
