Just got gallery installed, few friends have visited the size... Happened to look in /tmp.. Ack!

Have barely used the thing, and already 114 tmp files from gallery laying around. Shouldn't this thing be a little neater? They're all 0 bytes, and all owned by apache so I can't even delete them myself.

This is a frustrating bug. I can't figure out how to reproduce it. Sometimes I get these temp files on my system, other times I don't. Can you tell me what version of Gallery you're using and what operation you think you performed which might have caused this?

Also, you can use the "cleanup" script from the user guide to change the perms on those files so that you can delete them.
