Description
I opened the plugin folder today to update the tsserver and found that there were 3686 (!) temp files of the form .tmpbufXXXX in the folder. They total to about 20 MB.
What is their purpose? Are these supposed to be cleaned out periodically?
This is OS X with the latest Sublime Text 3 beta build.

Research direction
The issue names the plugin folder, tsserver, and .tmpbufXXXX files but no source file or test. Start by locating where the plugin or tsserver creates these files and whether cleanup is attempted. Done means the temporary files no longer accumulate unexpectedly, with behavior verified on OS X.
