Original submission:

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.

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

Hi Pavel,

Hope you don't mind me assigning this issue to you :) .

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.

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

I can't reproduce it with either rpm and tar files.

If bug still here, please describe how to reproduce it.

[IMDagger]

I reproduced this bug on ​http://www.midnight-commander.org/browser/?rev=956f36a534993f2448e236d419cd85007567e0e2. May be this trouble is with nested archives. Example:
0) ls /tmp/mc-imdagger
<nothing>
1) cd ~/tmp
2) mkdir arch; cd arch
3) cp /usr/man/man2/chmod.2.gz ./
4) F2 -> 4 [Compress the current subdirectory (tar.bz2)]
5) mv ../arch.tar.bz2 ./
6) again F2 -> 4 [Compress the current subdirectory (tar.bz2)]
7) cd ..
8) enter into arch.tar.bz2, and after again into internal arch.tar.bz2, read chmod.2.gz by F3
9) leave archive totally
10) ls -l /tmp/mc-imdagger

-rw-r--r-- 1 imdagger imdagger 2958 2009-08-15 11:44 vfshGxdFaarch.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 imdagger imdagger 2319 2009-08-15 11:44 vfsv7fm5bchmod.2.gz
11) C-x a, and free VFS
12) ls -l /tmp/mc-imdagger
-rw-r--r-- 1 imdagger imdagger 2319 2009-08-15 11:44 vfsffI5Obchmod.2.gz
