When a new binary (e.g., /386/bin/rio) gets pulled,
the old one, which you might still be running,
is renamed to the _ version so that it keeps working.
If you remove _rio while someone is still executing
it and then they try to demand load a page from the binary,
the running rio will die.
After rebooting the machine so that you're running the
new binaries, then it's safe to remove _*.
There is no fossil console command to zero unused fossil blocks.
The source is in /sys/src/cmd/fossil if you'd like to add one.
Russ
