Which OS?

r.proj calls remove() on the temporary file immediately after opening
it. On Unix, that removes the directory entry, and will cause the file
itself to be deleted as soon as r.proj terminates. On Windows, the
remove() call will fail (you can't delete an open file on Windows),
and the file will be left behind.
