Cleaning /tmp directory takes an irrational quantity of time

Thanks for the reply, i tried that and i got the following:

total 16184
drwxrwxrwt 16 root root 4096 Jul 26 11:25 .
drwxr-xr-x 20 root root 4096 Jul 24 12:25 ..

drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Jul 26 11:24 .X11-unix
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 20 12:41 .initrd

-rw-r--r-- 1 1003 513 16482873 Jul 26 08:33
jre-1_5_0_07-linux-amd64.bin

drwx------ 2 1003 513 4096 Jul 26 09:13 orbit-rafael

anyway, this also happens when cleaning /var/run and
/var/lock

the biggest file i ve got is
"jre-1_5_0_07-linux-amd64.bin" whichs was 
put in the /tmp after this error began to appear, could it
be a 
permission issue?

i guess a quick fix would be to comment the corresponding
lines in 
/etc/init.d/bootmisc but i suppose those lines are there for
reason

thanks for the help
