PHP Pear CAPTCHA

Why would the PHP code below, delete some CAPTCHA images and allow several other images to remain on the server?

//process_form.php

PHP
session_start()


$radiobutton = '';
$captcha_set = false;

IF POST SUBMIT
    IF empty text1 && empty text2 
        echo error msg, include HTML FORM

    ELSE IF empty radiobtn 
        echo error msg, include HTML FORM

    ELSE IF 
        isset POST[phrase] isstring POST[phrase] isset SESSION[phrase]
        strlen POST[phrase] > 0 strlen SESSION[phrase] > 0 
        POST[phrase] == SESSION[phrase]

        $captcha_set = true;

        {
            unset($_SESSION['phrase']);
            unlink(sha1(session_id()) . '.png');
        }            

        SQL INSERT

    ELSE
        echo error msg, include HTML FORM

    include HTML FORM

HTML FORM

    PHP
        echo '<img src="' . sha1(session_id()) . '.png?' . time() . '" />';
    /PHP

/FORM /HTML        

The image file name is visable in the sent HTML.

If you used fixed file names it would be too easy for a Robot to build up a catalogue of the words associated with a given image thus defeating the point of the CAPTCHA.

So the image is copied to some random name, displayed on the CAPTCHA page and then deleted.
