I had trouble getting LambdaMOO to compile on a Linux box, so I am using 
the pre-compiled binary from ftp.parc.xerox.com.  It seems to operate 
normally, except when doing database dumps.  As normal, it will do an 
hourly dump of 'database.db.new.#??#' but it has the odd tendancy to 
leave these temporary dumps laying around.  For kicks I tried
mv database.db.new.#??# database.db.new
and Linux came back with 'database.db.new.#??# and database.db.new are 
same file.  Not moved' (or something close).  Is this an error with the 
server, or an oddity of my Linux setup?  I can continue to clean up these 
database droppings by hand, but I'd rather the server handle it in the 
manner it was supposed to.  ANy ideas?  Thanks in advance,
Jason
