This is not quite true.
On Leopard, the dirhelper utility deletes files from
NSTemporaryDirectory that were last accessed more than three days ago;
if a user leaves your app running for more than 3 days, dirhelper will
happily delete files out from under it.
See http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2009/1/15/227830
Unfortunately, this makes NSTemporaryDirectory unusable for my
purposes as I need the data to be around for the lifetime of the app.
