You are right, the temp dir got too big to handle and hence I have time 
specific temp dirs now. WHat I did not anticipate is that although 
Windows writes "01" for days, months, minutes, and seconds, it rather 
prints " 1" for hours when asking for %DATE% and %TIME% in a batch file.
Fixed in the meantime and check results should clear up soon.

Best,
