They should not stick around.  The content of each of those files is  
supposed to get merged into the compound file (_XXX.cfs).  Then  
they're deleted.  Searcher reads from the compound file.

I'm curious whether you have fields which are specified as not  
indexed.  If so, can you show me some of the field definitions?   
Here's how SegWriter generates the list of _XXX.fYYY files:

         push @compound_files, map { "$seg_name.f" . $_->get_field_num }
             grep { $_->get_indexed } $self->{finfos}->get_infos;

There shouldn't be any files corresponding to fields which aren't  
indexed, but maybe they're getting created because of some bug  
earlier in the chain.
