 Can you tell me something more about your setup?  Like how is
 the resolver configured.  What do you have in /etc/resolv.conf
 when that happens, 

I have a local bind. So /etc/resolv.conf always contains nameserver
127.0.0.1. Bind's options are controlled by resolvconf (like
adding/removing forwarders). 

This is on a laptop, so it is often without network connection. The
interface is controlled by ifplugd. It takes the interface down or up,
depending on the link state.

 and what does grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
 return?
hosts:  files dns

 Do you have ipv6 connectivity?  Or is ipv6 completly disabled?
It is enabled but not used for outside connections (no ipv6 router).

 Hi,
 
 here is some additional info: it seems, ntpd creates these files, when
 it can't connect to a server. 
 
 If I unplug the network cable, the
 interface is taken down by ifplugd, dhcp loses the lease and restarts
 ntpd via /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/ntp. In this case a temporary
 file is created and never deleted. 
 
 If I restart ntpd manually while the network is connected, no temporary
 file is created.

I've been trying to reproduce this using 4.2.4p7+dfsg-4, but I
never get such files.

On the other hand looking at the code, I don't see how it could
be cleaned up in the succesful case.

So you somehow must be triggering other code than other people.
