Description:
------------
When uploading files via a form.  If the user cancels the upload via the stop button in the browser, the php script does not clean up the file reminants.  If upload is completed the temporary file /var/tmp/php[A-Za-Z0-9]6 is removed.  However in the case when the upload is aborted it is left behind.

I have never noticed this before so I assume its new.  Currently running a cron job to remove file reminants however this has a nasty sting if it goes unchecked on a server with many file uploads.

Note that I am also running php accelerator.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The solution to this problem is to set ignore_user_abort(true) on the forms that deal with file attachments. That way PHP will be able to remove the unused file uploads.
