Comment (by rwbarton):

 Nontermination is also a problem for `runghc`, and probably a more common
 scenario.
 {{{
 rwbarton at morphism:/tmp$ rm -rf ghc*
 rwbarton at morphism:/tmp$ cat loop.hs
 main = main
 rwbarton at morphism:/tmp$ runghc loop.hs
 ^C
 rwbarton at morphism:/tmp$ echo ghc*
 ghc31647_0
 }}}
 In `ghc -e`/`runghc`, perhaps it would be possible to clean up the
 temporary directory before executing the expression/program.
