I attempted to run a perl in-place edit of the Athena repository:

  find . -noleaf -name "*,v" -print0 | \
    xargs -0 perl -pi -e 's/^\t[^:]+:1.1.1;$/\tvendor:1.1.1;/;'

but it ran out of space, because each in-place edit left behind a
.__afsXXXX file which was never cleaned up.

I understand that the client would leave behind such a file during a
rename, but I would think that, if everything is functioning properly,
the file would be cleaned up once the old copy is closed.  So I
suspect something wasn't functioning properly.
