Bug #5645: YAML.load_file prevents following File.delete

In ruby 1.9.2 and earlier this works:
d = YAML::load_file(fname)
File.delete(fname)

In 1.9.3 the delete fails with permission denied.

The work around is to use:
d = File.open(fname) { |f| YAML::load(f) }
File.delete(fname)

This was fixed by r33775, but the ticket wasn't closed automatically. :-/

Closing now. Thanks for the bug report!
