Comment (by nickm):

 >Another option is to kill off the maps when deleting on windows, since we
 can't keep them around.

 I tried this option first, since I thought it would be simple, but I ran
 into multithreading issues, and it turned out to be fairly tricky.  I've
 left my code in branch `bug22752_031_complex` in my public repository, but
 I hope we don't need to use it -- it could be destabilizing if I got
 _anything_ wrong, which I probably did.

 I'm going to try a simpler option now, with fewer multithreading issues.
