    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
