That's a temporary file that is deleted after a successful render, but 
left on disk if you abort, to be loaded automatically when you continue 
the aborted render, so that the radiosity cache data doesn't get lost.

File extension doesn't matter. ".rca" would be the default, but you can 
use anything you like (including no extension at all).
