Just took a look at my /tmp/ directory, saw a bunch of these things. They should be under a single subdir /tmp/.dmd-run-test/. It would also be nice to have a VERY SIMPLE mechanism to delete old runs (e.g. a day or more).

Files are created here: https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/bf61ad682f3f9c35a16c79180941ffd902ab9758/posix.mak#L360-L366 It seems that the files are not cleaned up only when the test fails. Have you been doing a lot of development and testing? Anyway, here's an untested fix attempt: https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4831

Yes, apparently my development process involves a bunch of erroneous tests :o). Thanks for your patch, worked with make -j std/algorithm.test.
