The test case was an invalid filename.  Is this the primary failure
method?  If so, then check this in the create, or the first write, (or
check any other reasons why writing to the file would fail) and throw
the exception there.  Then you should rarely if ever get to the
destructor with an unwritable file. Sure, someone could change the
permissions on you between the create and the destroy, but how likely
is that?
