not be overwritten thrice - only the first table overwrites the result, the other two will append, not overwrite.
Or maybe it does use temporary files & overwrite the final table three times. If you hit escape when the 2nd dialog comes up, you should find a temporary table still remains. When I first found the effect, I just started deleting the table first - I've only just discovered the temporary table.
