I'm not a 100% certain this is the cause, but on Windows, if I open a KAR file
then close it, Kepler doesn't seem to release the file handle, which prevents
me from deleting the KAR.  I seem to recall having problems overwriting KAR
files in the past, so this is somewhat problematic.  Obviously, closing Kepler
releases the file handle.
