According to address@hidden on 4/11/2008 1:51 AM:
| C:\>c:\progra~1\gnuwin32\bin\rm -rf 1111/*/src
| c:\progra~1\gnuwin32\bin\rm: rm: can not run lstat for `1111/*/src':
| Invalid argument

| Last week I have downloaded latest GetGnuWin32 and have downloaded all
| new unilities
| http://sourceforge.net/projects/getgnuwin32

gnuwin32 is an old, and notoriously broken, port.

| I do not know which version of coreutils I have.

What does rm --version say?

| and where I can update
| them if I have old...

I would suggest using cygwin instead (see cygwin.com), which has no
problems with this example, and which is actively maintained to the
current stable release of 6.10.
