we did some more tests in the meantime.  We have tested all available
OpenAFS versions under Linux kernel 2.2.21 with the following result:

   - under OperAFS version 1.0.1 till version 1.0.4a all temp files
     disappear immediately after the corresponding process has closed
     the file.

   - under OpenAFS version 1.1.0 and all versions higher, the temp
     files stay for some time; some files disappear and some files do
     not disappear at all.

Therefore we guess, the "problem" sneaks in between OpenAFS version
1.1.4a and OpenAFS version 1.1.0 !!!

We hope, that this analysis is of any help for you   :-)

Cheers,

Norbert
