Reopening since SFS also leaves stale temporary files when 
operating on remote files. I am working on it.

I've just commited a fix:

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/mc/vfs/extfs.c?root=mc&sortby=date&r2=1.125&r1=1.124&diff_format=u

The temporary files used to remain only if MC exited before the vfs 
"garbage collector" kicked in.

The suggested patch won't do i.e. it is not the right thing to do. 
I am currently investigating .

Mc 4.6.1 doesn't clean up tempfiles. This happens with mc-4.6.1 on 
Mandriva Cooker.
This is with and without the utf8 patch.
I only tried it with an rpm, and the cpio file remains in the 
/tmp/mc-user directory after a restart of mc.

$ mc --version
GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.1
Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish, undelfs
With builtin Editor
Using system-installed S-Lang library with terminfo database
With subshell support as default
With support for background operations
With mouse support on xterm and Linux console
With internationalization support
With multiple codepages support

A patch is available in the mc-devel archive at:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc-devel/2005-May/msg00228.html
This patch has been made by Dieter Jurzitza on Suse 9.3.
