For a long time, I have been harboring a suspicion that there is a bug
in Solaris 2.[678]'s unlink(2) if used in /tmp. I see quite a few temp
files left over in /tmp, some by homebrewn programs, some by system
commands (man(1) seems the worst offender). It doesn't always happen,
maybe there is some kind of (not so rare) race condition.
