Sounds fishy. Those files contain a nul-separated list of GC roots
(store file names). Thus, a file in there is proportional to the number
of ‘add-temp-root’ RPCs made by the client during the session.
A client with a long-running session (‘guix publish’, Coordinator, Data
Service, Cuirass, etc.) that regularly adds temp roots makes that file
grow endlessly.
HTH!
