I just now found some time to snoop around for the source of this.
The answer is in
        tdeabc/plugins/file/resourcefile.cpp

bool ResourceFile::doOpen()
{
  TQFile file( mFileName );
[...]
      for (int i=0; i!=20; i++)
      {
        TQFile backup( mFileName + "__" + TQString::number(i) );
[...]
}


void ResourceFile::doClose()
{
}

interesting why it leaves he files and more interesting why it caches the
data from those files.

The code however is not that intelligent if you look into it (i!=20), so
perhaps we can improve a bit.

(to be continued)
