I am sorely tempted to reopen, because it's time to mention Windows.
The calling app here is SpamAssassin.exe, built with perl 5.8.7, and one should
believe that it does call ->finish().
While most of the time SpamAssassin does seem to clean up OK after itself,
there are cases where it doesn't. Some 3.2.1 users were reporting thousands of
leftover tmp files. And no, SpamAssassin.exe was not forcibly killed with
TerminateProcess() or similar.
The exe built from SpamAssassin 3.1.7 still works fine, so something happened
along the way.
