Description:
As of 4.0.20, on Windows InnoDB creates temporary files in the root directory of the device where the datadir is located, names similar to t10n, t10n.1, so on.  Files are removed when mysqld terminates.  Presumably created by tmpfile().

How to repeat:
Start 4.0.20 on Windows with InnoDB enabled.

Suggested fix:
Use CreateFile() with Temporary File and Delete On Close flags, instead of tmpfile().

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments
to the original bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.
