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.
