I forgot to say that the problem was observed on Cygwin (current binary
version).  I'm sorry, I wrongly assumed that the error was generic.  
Cygwin has a very simple shell as /bin/sh, something like ash, but it also 
has /bin/bash as the default interactive shell.

The problem happens quite often because install cannot overwrite running
executable files and happily goes ahead and installs data files.  I have
been fooled by this two or three times.
