Thanks for the report and the patch.

I think this bug is already solved in the git repository, albeit somewhat differently.  Make now always increments the counter of the batch files before trying to create a new batch file.  So if a file named make-NNNN-1.bat was already created in the current Make run (where NNNN is the PID of the Make process), the next batch file will be make-NNNN-2.bat; Make will not try reusing make-NNNN-1.bat, unless it tries all the 64K possible numbers, and starts reusing numbers it already used in the same run.

I needed this change for "make -j", where several batch files might be used simultaneously, and cannot possibly be deleted anyway, because some job is still using them.

So I'm closing this bug.  Please try the git code and see if the problem still persists.  If it does, please reopen this bug with details.

When make runs on windows using batch files to execute external programs, it doesn't handle correctly situation when file creation fails because delete is still pending.
This behaviour of CreateFile is mentioned here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363858(v=vs.85).aspx
Make then fails with 'permission denied' (increasing user confusion)

This problem is quite rare, usual resolution is to disable antivirus software or try again. It is masked a bit because make first tries temporary directory, then ./, both must fail.

Attached is patch that waits before giving up.
On my system it does sometimes take nearly one second to create new file (Process Monitor from Sysinternals and search for 'DELETE PENDING' result).
