[net.news.b] files left in /tmp by 2.10.2 software

sohail@terak.UUCP (10/08/84)

I have been noticing some file being left in
the /tmp dir by vnews. These all have the
name /tmp/folXXXXXX and are generated in when 
responding to some articles.

There are also some files with the name /tmp/newsaXXXXXX
that appear to be copies of the /usr/lib/news/active file.

Has any one else noticed this and found a way to get rid
of them.

I have found that these files are created when vnews crashes.
such as when you try to read an article with length 0
