There happens to be a program (INIT/CDEV) to get rid of these troublesome
files called Temperament by John Rotenstein.  I believe it is in
the info-mac archives on sumex-aim.stanford.edu as cdev/temperament-2.hqx
The cdev part of the init allows for the user to configure the program to
blast ANY temporary file in the system folder, which I have found useful
on several occasions ...
