I have noticed that, on rare occasions, my C/C++ (with MFC) application creates a few files on the root of the D: drive.
Like this:
s6r4<br/>
s6r4.1<br/>
s6r4.2
The names appear to be random.
I have looked at all the libraries I use and none of them seem to write temp files in that location, or with that kind of extension.
I have also looked inside the files with a hex editor, but didnt see anything useful.
They are 90% made of 0s and there are no text strings to give clues to their origins.

So I am here to ask you guys if these things ring any bells?
Perhaps the runtime writes them in an effort to document a crash event?
