Yeah, but LYRemoveTemp() didn't know it was closed - nobody told the
structures that keep track of temp files.  So it tried to close and
remove it.   

It's not clear what rules one has to follow in using those temp file
managing functions, some comments would be appreciated...

Actuall, the order in LYRemoveTemp() is not "close it then remove it"
but the other way 'round, fwiw.
