I think this file is created everytime you start a transaction. Maybe even if you only perform read only commands. The journal is what is used to keep track of the changes to the database. Anyone else have any thoughts?
yes - it is. the thing is, unless a remote client unlinks it while another client has it open the sillynames would not appear. i can post a copy of one of the sillynamed files - but they are definitely the contents of db-journal. the question is why this is happening. running strace and looking at the fcntl lock calls lead me to think it __should__ be impossible for any client to unlink this file before someone else closed it - but that IS what i'm seeing happen...
