[K12OSN] cpu hog woes maybe figured..

[Huck]

I have a gazillion(really can't count) files in /tmp

where I notice xses-<user>  and orbit-<user>
puts/gets info from...

so I figure it's the cpu max'n out trying to access that info...

all filenames start with a like 6 digit name followed by 9 characters 
incremented

ie..  
...
dummie1a01bOJkw
dummie1a01bOJkx
dummie1a01bOJky
...
and so on and so forth...

when I attempt to 'rm dummie*' I get a bash error about the argument 
list being too long...

HELP?!?!
some script guru out there?
