renameFile in GHC 6.0 (Windows): msg#00017

Subject: renameFile in GHC 6.0 (Windows)

I noticed that renameFile in the Directory module in GHC 6.0 on Windows (NT 4
Workstation; sorry, I didn't check the service pack) throws an error when a
file already exists in the new FilePath (sorry again, I can't remember the
exact error). The Report (& GHC documentation) say that "If the new object
already exists, it is atomically replaced by the old object", and that
behaviour seems to be implemented correctly by GHC 6.0 on Linux.
