"""
Create and delete FILES_PER_THREAD temp files (via tempfile.TemporaryFile)
in each of NUM_THREADS threads, recording the number of successes and
failures.  A failure is a bug in tempfile, and may be due to:

+ Trying to create more than one tempfile with the same name.
+ Trying to delete a tempfile that doesn't still exist.
+ Something we've never seen before.

By default, NUM_THREADS == 20 and FILES_PER_THREAD == 50.  This is enough to
create about 150 failures per run under Win98SE in 2.0, and runs pretty
quickly. Guido reports needing to boost FILES_PER_THREAD to 500 before
provoking a 2.0 failure under Linux.
