Did you audit this "junk" handling to verify that stuff which ought to
be cleaned up still is cleaned up now that the mkdir() and die() have
been moved above the atexit(remove_junk) invocation?

I did just audit it, and I _think_ that it still works as expected,
but it would be good to hear that someone else has come to the same
conclusion.
