It does sound like that, alright.  The change was to support win32, which
doesn't allow the "open then unlink" POSIX mode that  the code was relying
on.

My guess -- if the Message object is not finish()'d, it may leave those
temporary files behind, I guess.

Could someone seeing this bug please open a bug on the bugzilla about it?

Bug #5444 has been opened regarding this matter.  Since opening the bug, I
completely removed my SA install and started from scratch, including updating
all local Perl modules, to no avail.  For now, I've set up a cron job to remove
old files, but it's got me concerned where if that script fails, I'll run out of
tmp space.
