Comment (by Vort):

 > I think this bug might be caused by the fact that (I think!) on windows,
 you can't unlink a file that's in use.

 Yes, adding of `consensus_cache_entry_unmap` call hides "unlink" warnings:
 attachment:unmap_hack.patch
 But adds other ones, of course.

 > But our code tries to unlink these files while they are still mapped.

 Using of deleted file is a strange thing for me.
