FWIW, I've never seen or heard of such a behavior before.  I suspect
that the files are being made by some add-on code --- have you got any
custom C code, third-party modules, etc?

PS: BTW, running a three-year-old Red Hat release without any of the
subsequent updates doesn't seem like the sanest approach to system
administration.  According to my changelogs, Red Hat shipped 7.4.16
for only about two months in the spring of 2007, and you're clearly
running an ancient kernel as well.
