I would expect that if the target application also registers a shutdown 
function there could be problems, but its potential nesting is something 
to look into.

I suppose it would also be possible to fork the application and delete 
the temp file once the "child" fork had completed, which /might/ be less 
prone to being overridden by an arbitrary application.

Neither do I, but that in itself doesn't change the way it works. <g>

Thanks for your suggestion.
