Xcode eating hard drive

Not sure how to make sure Apple knows that this needs to be fixed or if anyone else has had this problem, so I though I'd just mention it here. I had Xcode 2.1 sitting in the background with a project open, not really working on it at the time. Meanwhile, it was predictively compiling, and the .o file for that class (actually the extension was .o~>) had gotten up to over 10 gigabytes and rising. This left my drive with about 220 megabytes when I became aware of it.

As a side note, I remember reading something about hfs extended drives developing some sort of issue after becoming 85% full. Since my drive was about 99.5%, does anyone know if this spells some sort of imminent doom for my hard drive?

Thanks,
Daniel
