inodes problem

[--[ UxBoD ]--]

The directories are based on the PID of each running MS process.  From my
own installation I was under the impression that when MS was restarted
manually, or the process restart themselves then their associated incoming
work directory would be removed.  Could it be pointing to a issue when the
PID is actually just dying, and leaving remnants behind ?
