Hi everyone,

I was trying to clean my /tmp with tmpwatch and noticed a really large
file sitting there, and I have no clue what could have generated that.
Anyone has any ideas?

$ lt /tmp/magick-XXWa5SP9.pam
-rw-rw-r--. 1 <me> <me> 13G Oct 29 01:47 /tmp/magick-XXWa5SP9.pam

$ file /tmp/magick-XXWa5SP9.pam
/tmp/magick-XXWa5SP9.pam: Netpbm PAM image file

$ stat /tmp/magick-XXWa5SP9.pam
  File: `/tmp/magick-XXWa5SP9.pam'
  Size: 13651351424	Blocks: 26662808   IO Block: 4096   regular file
