tmp files being left over from FuzzyOCR?

[Bill <ad...@vci.net>]

    Since I installed FuzzyOCR I've noticed I'm having a lot of files named
similar to  .spamassassin8932mZBFrtmp  left in my /tmp folder. These are
from FuzzyOCR, correct? The content of these files has lots of spaces,
hyphens, commas with a few readable words and the word "picture" a few
times.

    Is there something I need to do to ensure these files are removed? After
I manually remove them I see new tmp files being created and removed but
sometimes a file is NOT removed.

I suspect that if you look in your FuzzyOCR log, you will find errors 
that match the unremoved temp files.

Eg from my FuzzyOCR.log:

[2006-10-18 10:10:47] Unexpected error in pipe to external programs.
                       Please check that all helper programs are 
installed and in the correct path.
                       (Pipe Command "/usr/bin/gifasm -d 
/tmp/.spamassassin2591CHsvrEtmp/out", Pipe exit code 1 (""), Temporary 
file: "/tmp/.spamassassin2591dNqOn7tmp")

I see that /tmp/.spamassassin2591CHsvrEtmp/ is still there, but 
/tmp/.spamassassin2591dNqOn7tmp isn't.

And another example:

[2006-10-18 09:34:24] FuzzyOcr received timeout after running "10" seconds.

#ls -l /tmp/.spamassassin* | grep 09:34
-rw-------  1 spamd users     0 Oct 18 09:34 /tmp/.spamassassin2589Wc3z7Gtmp
-rw-------  1 spamd users 23579 Oct 18 09:34 /tmp/.spamassassin2589yvpP1Htmp


Looks like when gifasm fails, you get a dir left over. If there's a 
timeout, you get a file left over.
