Description

As of SUREFIRE-938 Surefire creates files such as /tmp/stdout452978518391772295deferred, but never seems to delete them on JVM exit. Surefire does not call File.deleteOnExit(), and neither does DeferredFileOutputStream. So our Jenkins machine just ran out of space on /tmp

If you don't want to wait until Commons IO fixes DeferredFileOutputStream, it has a handy getFile() method which you can call deleteOnExit() on (when it's not null that is).
