This is really strange.
In my XcodeIntermediateFiles, I see a file called:

This file is currently at ~92 GB and growing every second.
I also see two other related files:
PaletteController.o
PaletteController.o~?
I have been working on the source file for these .o's and simply
cannot explain why Xcode doesn't want to give up writing an ever
increasing amount of information to PaletteController.o~>.
I am using Distributed Builds, if that matters.
Restarting my machine seems to fix the problem for awhile, but it
quickly returns.
Anyone have any thoughts or comments?
Could you see whether Preferences > Building > Build Options > Use
Predictive Compilation is checked? If it is, does unchecking it cease
the constant growth? Does turning off distributed builds help at all?
If you hexdump the huge file, what's inside it?
The only process by which a .o file is created is by compiling source
to object, and we don't know of a way to write a source file that
creates an object file of unbounded size. But we're eager to learn,
so if you could file a bug at http://bugreporter.apple.com and attach
the source file for PaletteController we'd be interested.
Please don't attach the ninety-two-gigabyte object file.
