+"""
+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.  Run the test alone to boost either
+via cmdline switches:
+
+-f  FILES_PER_THREAD (int)
+-t  NUM_THREADS (int)
