For anyone using Pageant with paramiko and getting the 'access denied'
error on a .pag file, this should be resolved by the upcoming 0.62
release of Pageant. It includes a fix both for the immediate problem
of the leaked file, and an underlying issue with SID checking detailed
here:

There are now pre-release builds available for testing, scroll down a little:

I encourage anyone affected to download this version and report
whether it resolves the issue for you.
