Re: [9fans] replica's _* files

If I got it right, you didnt. This is for files which are already being executed
and loaded in demand so that, for example the rio *which is alredy running*
doesnt get broken if all the binary is not loaded yet. The file is already in
use, so the name doesnt get resolved again. As long as you dont delete
it will continue to be used even if you rename it.
