I just deleted 2.7 GB (yes, you read that right) of files in the above
named directory. Wow.
The size and contents of 98% of the files in that directory look OK
(all less than 2K and are a series of pathnames, one per line). Some
of the files, however, are really enormous. They all start out OK,
but have complete garbage in them after a certain point. Sometimes
mail messages. Sometimes binary data.
I've seen this on several machines around here, and under several
users accounts, so it is not isolated to my .emacs/uid.
Anyone else seen this? I found only one reference in google
(http://ww.telent.net/diary/2004/7/#4.78600) to the problem. It's
rather hard to search using ".saves-", unfortunately.
I can easily write a cron job to clean up the problem, but it feels
like a pretty bad bug to me.
