[TYPO3-UG US] Server Filling Up With Magic Files?

[John Schaub]

Thank you so much Dimitri. Now that I know these are temp files, I will
start by deleting them. That will free up 200 MB for me and give me the
space to install TYPO3 4.0. Then I can watch this directory and see if the
problem begins to build again. If so, I will track down the culprit or
switch graphics systems.

You have been very helpful and I truly appreciate it.

John
