Owing to how file unlinking works in UNIX/Linux systems, if a process
has a temporary file open when you delete it, it won't be removed until
the process terminates. However it's unwise to rely on this when a
temporary file might be closed and re-opened, including by a different
process. That could lead to unpredictable behaviour because of race
conditions.
