Hi.

There are some reports that Postgres does not handle correctly cleaning the
files used when it crashes. [1]

I think that function *fcloseall* can help a little bit.
Mainly on Windows.

/*
* Closes all of the calling process's open streams.
* On Windows, close and remove all temporary files created by tmpfile
function.
*/

patch attached.

best regards,
Ranier Vilela
