Temp folder is filled with RedMon##.### files

Hi, I'm using PDFCreator as service, running 24x7 (great program BTW, thank you!).
Recently I had a problem, that the printing got stopped with no error logged whatsoever. It turned out, that the c:\Windows\Temp foder contained 100 000 files with the names "RedMon##.###". Obviously the temp name space went out of numbers, so PDFCreator was unable to work anymore. After deleting those files, the program went on ok. I am using a housekeeping script now as a workaround, but this problem needs to be addressed I think.
Ok, answers one by one:
WinXP SP2
PDFCreator 0.9.5
Installation: server, autosave on, running as service with srvany.exe (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890)
The temp file? They are all zero size, nothing to read there. If you look into the c:\WINDOWS\Temp\ folder (the global %TEMP% folder here), you can see the files. An example for the filenames:
RedMon01.000
RedMon01.001
...
RedMon01.534
Thanks for your help!
