This seems to be a continual problem.  I am wondering if we shouldn't
come up with a better solution.

Maybe we need a new flag in mhn.defaults that says, "Delete the temporary
file after N seconds".  Implementing this should be straightforward; just
fork(), sleep(), and unlink().  N could be 10 or 30 seconds.

That almost sounds like we need some kind of pager option.

These seem fine to me (but ... you get a lot of audio/x-next files? :-) ).
