I am finding lots of files named .nfs*** (usually *** = numbers) left around
on our filesystem.  They seem to be created when using <command>-r to delete
files that are on remote filesystems, and I am not sure, but it appears that
they do not clear up on their own.

I found that I needed to cmd-r the files, and then cmd-r the .nfs files as
well!

This is definitely new to 3.0 -- anyone have an explanation or suggestion for
this?  I assume it is some nfs weirdness.

Thanks!
