> org.apache.flume.client.avro.ReliableSpoolingFileEventReader.getNextFile() 
> Gets an instance of a DurablePositionTracker and is not calling close() on it before then creating another instance... thus not calling close on the underlying DataFileWriter.  This left the file locked in Windows and hence any delete attempts were failing...causing the Agent to spin around and around trying to delete this file and creating endless numbers of the temporary tracker files.
