Question What are tr.pid.rotation files?

Hi!
I'm facing a unique problem!

When I run a program on HPUX, it runs fine but it also produces a bunch of files of the format:

tr.<pid>.number

the contents of these files are a bunch of numbers and I know for a fact that these files are not created by the program I'm running.

Seems to be some debug/trace thingy turned on externally or via some link library. The probelm is I don't know where to start looking!

Anyone run into similar issues?

Thanks!

a snippet from the file (not that this would make sense, but you'll get an idea of how the file looks like)

might be....

It could be that you have a certain debug level set when you are running your command. check to see if you can change debug levels. It seems it is some sort of trace specific to your command.
