I don't see why that would be the case. delete_temp_files is called
(only) via atexit - that applies whether or not there's a fork, and
delete_temp_files should be called whether exit it called or the program
returns from main (the case of calling _exit, and so not calling atexit
handlers, doesn't apply to this test). It shouldn't matter at all which
phase the files get entered into temp_name_list in.
