Description of problem:
Orphaned inodes in /tmp (80k+ at a time).  Eventually causes and "out of 
space" error on /tmp forcing a reboot to clear.

Inode   Pathname
256511  <inode not found>

debugfs:  stat 256511
256511: File not found by ext2_lookup

Deleted inodes on server:

Comment 1 Joe Orton 2005-10-12 12:58:20 UTC
Is this bug still reproducible?  If the bug was due to Ant rather than the
Apache HTTP server then this is not the appropriate place to report the issue.
