This turned out to be an issue with Wine which makes "unlink" syscall to not
work which is really bad, and in particular it makes bash's heredoc (and
probably all tmpfile operations) to fail. Wine needs to implement
FileDispositionInformation class; there is a bug 30397 for that already,
already filled (as usual) excellent description from Anastasius Focht. I
suggest to close this bug (about the crash - investigated and fixed in Cygwin)
and move to that bug (probably bump its importance and mark as blocker to
Cygwin too).
