I think, this totally off-topic. But anyway, when a program create a temporary files it needs to remove ASAP, itself. I wouldn't deliver a program with a notice like "sometimes FD leaked, not a problem, just remove $TMP/myprogram-*". For the little story, the leaked FD (hence the temporary files) was 400MB each and it quickly get noticed after a few run (and a full HD).
