Comment(by mpatel):

 I inserted diagnostic "cout" statements in
 `extra_prime_class::~extra_prime_class` and ran a few tests.  It seems the
 destructor always gets called, but the timing --- and whether `PRIMES` is
 actually written to the file system, it seems --- depends on whether I use
 the library or pexpect interface.

 The pexpect interface reads `SAGE_ROOT/data/extcode/mwrank/PRIMES`.  But
 it doesn't update this file when I quit the Sage command line.  However,
 if I run
 {{{
 sage -c "EllipticCurve([1,0,0,0,37455]).rank(proof=False)"
 }}}
 then "hg stat", for example, confirms the file has changed.

 Would it help to call a `exitprimes` method explicitly, near the end of
 `main`?  This ''might'' avoid problems related to when the runtime calls
 the destructor.

 Disclaimer:  I'm not at all familiar with eclib.
