I reported this a couple of days ago and noone could make a rhyme upon it. Just one person had seen this under the news server (nn?). My kernel is always up to current so it is unlikely to be the problem of a specific snapshot. I did an ls and saw hundreds of files cache20302125 cache2030234 and so on, headed by a file named MCOM-cache-fat. A few seconds later the files were gone. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Anyone knowing which application is producing this kind of files? I'm running the following things which may be not so common in their combination: colorls - (not that I terribly like it - it just happened to be active at that moment) olvwm, Xinside server, four color xterms mrouted, GUS audio kernel world build was running at that time --Chris Christoph P.
