Are you talking about a Best or beagled crash here?  The latter is the
one we're most interested in.  I suspect there's something about your
file system that is causing an exception in the indexing, but it's being
caught and the files aren't being cleaned up.  That's all speculation
though.

If you do ls -l, it should say what files they point to.  If they're
mostly .cfs files followed by "(deleted)" then we know for sure that
it's a dup of 165819.
