Quite possibly all the files that eventually filled up the /root directory were all such core dumps @ 7.8 MB each. Inspection of /var/log/messages showed nothing helpful.
What does the 5465 indicate?
The only 3rd party software is my gShield firewall and privoxy called by mozilla as 127.0.0.1.

can you give some examples of what is in * ? I have a hunch that it is some kind of java program doing this (at least 2 i know have the habit of creating nnnnnn files, although not so many). IIRC matlab also dumps errors in *.nnnnn So, what kind of 3rd party software do you use, if any?
