Hi,
I have not as yet mentioned the name of the SW due to the fact that I have not had enough time to recreate a Lab Case of this and demonstrate that this "error" is due to the SW alone.

Since I believed, in the beginning, that the SW was first class I would not wish to make the mistake of unjustly attributing the cause of this disaster to the SW house.

However if it is the cause, as it has seemed to be, then it would be my intention of warning SysAdmins of this fact.

It should be noted that this incident occurred shortly after having had to terminate/interrupt one of its processes. This may not be the cause alone but could be of importance to some extent since, in a general case, admins [and/or other tasks/scripts]s)s)s) may terminate processes and thus one might be at risk if the certain sub folders of /tmp were altered.

In the meantime you will find a PM with details.
Thanks
