I checked the *scratch* buffer status, indeed the `auto-save-mode` and
`auto-save-visited-mode` are enabled. And the value of variable
`buffer-auto-save-file-name` is: "/Users/stardiviner/#%2Ascratch%2A#lfiW0Q#"
Indeed found the problem! Hahaha, Thanks, Eli.
How to get around this problem? I disabled `auto-save-mode` now in my Emacs config now.
But I use git blame check out the `auto-save-mode` config lines, I
enabled it long time ago, but have not happened this problem before.
Anyway, problem solved now. Thanks a lot! Guys
