Subj : 'conflicted' files

Hi g00r00,

This may be a stupid question, but I've seen a few times now, where I'll be working on an MPL, and I'll get files that are renamed as filename[conflicted].ext.

I'm currently working on updating a MPL from a few years ago, and it keeps it own log file. The log file is now getting renamed to 'conflicted'. 

I'm guessing this is caused by some attempt to write to an file that's unopened? Is this a general 'catch-all' type of event that happens when there is an error somewhere? It would just give me somewhere to start looking for the problem. :)

In the past, I've seen this with the .mpx files, and also with the chat#.dat files.

Any clarity you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
