WFM.  FYI, unlink() is a system call that rm uses.  You will have to
provide more details on how to reproduce your problem (e.g., a sequence of
commands that results in the above message, starting with a system that
doesn't have this symlink).  Also, please review and follow the Cygwin
problem reporting guidelines at <http://cygwin.com/problems.html>.
