<p>I just looked through ALL my mapsets, and I have some other mapsets that also have many ppm files in them (several hunderd Megabites worth). These are mapsets that I heve not used since switching to RC4 (I was using RC3), so it no longer seems to me to be a new poblem with RC4. I DO remember that I let my laptop hibernate while keeping GRASS open while using these other mapsets as well. At the moment, that seems to me to be the most likely culprit. I wonder if this only happen on Windows?</p>

<p>Before I submitted this as abug, I wanted to run it past the list first. I've been doing lot of zooming, panning, etc. with WinGRASS map display lately, and I just noticed that my remaining 5gigs of free disk space had been eaten up in the last few days. I haven't downloaded anything, and have mainly just been woring in grass. I checked the size of the mapsets I've been working in and I discovered that the main one is 4.5 gig! It only has a few maps in it, so I checked the size of cell, and it is small. I check all the other folders and they were all small except for ".tmp" which was more than 4Gigs! When I looked inside, I noticed that ALL the ppm files from the map display from the last three days were still in there! I checked other mapsets that I have used in that time frame, and all of them have ppm files in them. mapsets I have not used have empty .tmp folders. Three days ago is when I installed RC4 binaries. Is this an issue with RC4 for anyone else? Is it a Windows thing? I'm using XP, on a laptop. I HAVE gone into hibernation with GRASS still up. Does dong so cause GRASS to "forget" the current PID, and therefore not be able to find the old ppm files to flush? Or is this just a bug in RC4?</p>
<p>Here are contents of the .tmp directory by ls command from MYSYS shell:</p><p><font face="courier new,monospace">i</font><font face="courier new,monospace">ullah@BENGAL1 ~/My Documents/GIS DataBase/Palestine_Grid_1923/PERMANENT/.tmp<br>
