If you want to read up on these files, try

    ^h f recover-session RETURN

I tried a couple ideas from the emacs newsgroups for turning these off.
They all had bad side effects, such as randomly saving regular files
with permissions of 000, etc. This was reported as a bug, and I believe
will be fixed in 19.31.

For now, I've left the save files enabled for my people until 19.31 comes
out.
