Actually, my idea was to watch the maps for changes.  Once every x
amount of time, so a sum or an md5 on all of the maps.  Then if a
map's checksum remains unchanged for a couple of hours then I was
going to delete the /tmp file.

Does anyone want to do that? (I'm getting cramped by classes at this
