It invariably means someone is trying to delete (unlink) a temporary file
that's still open.  That's easy to fall into because Linux doesn't care;
Windows forbids it.

 and why it's started happening?

Nope.  The most likely cause when this pops up in tests that recently passed
is that someone is trying to delete a temp file they noticed was left
behind -- that always works on Linux, but on Windows the file absolutely
must get closed first.  The Zope tests did leave some temp files behind
before, but I don't know specifically which tests were responsible.

There:  that's enough clues so that *someone* knows the answer off the top
of their head <wink>.
