Well that would work too I guess.  But deleting the temp directories was a 
hack designed to remove orphans. So what I just did was make sure that 
orphans were never left behind after krun terminates.  Then I just disabled 
deletion of temp directories by default. So as long as you don't explicitly 
reenable that feature ot should work correctly in parallel. Note that you 
will not necessarily be able to guarantee access to temp files once krun 
terminates, but there should be a way to receive the relevant data other 
ways. If something is needed that you can't get another way just let me know 
and I'll add a command line option for it.

Another thought: put the pid into the directory name and then you can
check to see if the process is still running before deleting the
directory.
