Slackware 13.0 x86_64 running RC2 - I've recently started finding pov'pid' files
in my /tmp directory - where 'pid' was the povray process id.
They're quite big - 60Mb or so - similar size to the .pov-state file in my
working directory.

Usually they're cleaned up at the end of a povray run, but if I kill a job then
they're left behind.

I don't remember ever seeing them before RC2 - what are they for?
Should they be there?

Cheers,
Peter
