Comment (by nickm):

 File names are scarce under the linux seccomp2 sandbox code, where they
 need to be preallocated and reserved.  Attempts to limit disk usage here
 are over the long term -- everything that's unlinked but kept on disk
 should be removed as soon as the mmap is closed, which should happen as
 soon as it's done spooling.

 One option here is to just use a different strategy under windows, since
 we don't need the same filename limits.  Another option is to kill off the
 maps when deleting on windows, since se can't keep them around.
