It was bothering me for a while but no one seems to report so here I am. NS2 on Linux creates a bunch of files in /tmp and doesn't delete them on exit. Namely, reflection_probe_182, reflection_probe_181, reflection_probe_231 and so on, lots of them. Every file is 98304 bytes long and I saw them from several game sessions with different dates. It's not a big issue but anyway it's an obvious trash left. Many Linux users have tmpfs mounted over /tmp so those files are effectively placed in RAM and occupy it for no reason for hours and even days. Would be good to clean them up properly on exit.

    Good catch! I was just looking at this a few weeks ago. It's on my radar, but there are a lot of other items ahead of it.
