Production environments are the same ones that won't be happy with
random checkpoint failures, either.
If we can't find a way to positively identify the deleted-file failures
then I think we've got to do something like this.
(You know, of course, that my opinion is that no sane person would run a
production database on Windows in the first place. So the data-loss
risk to me seems less of a problem than the unexpected-failures problem.
It's not like there aren't a ton of other data-loss scenarios in that OS
that we can't do anything about...)
