With SA 2.61 (Redhat 9; SA called from MailScanner) we often got a huge,
and apparently orphaned, file called "bayes_toks.new".  Having upgraded to
2.62, this behaviour has been replaced by occurences of multiple files
called "bayes_toks.expire$$" (where "$$" seems to be a process number).

When I check the source code "lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Bayes.pm", there does,
indeed, seem to be a corresponding change in the construction of such a
filename from 2.61 to 2.62.

These files seem to be orphaned: something somewhere has abandoned them.

On the MailScanner list, one or two other people had seen the 2.61 huge
"bayes_toks.new" (so at least I knew I wasn't alone!).  I think 2.62 is
too new for others to have installed it yet, but I suspect more occurences
of this problem will surface.

Is the occurence of these orphaned "bayes_toks.expire$$" files a known
problem?  If not, how might we begin to help you to track it down?
(Under MailScanner, SA is used as a subroutine library, not a daemon).
