Error message: port cannot be drained

Hello,

Since a few days I have this error message appearing in my CIW:

*Error* drain: port cannot be drained - port: /var/tmp/saved-design-variables4

this happens when I type this in the CIW:

(simulator 'spectre)

but not always, so it is hard to reproduce the problem. The only reference I found is here and speaks about disk usage, but the usage of the volume containing /var/tmp is about 35%.
The last digit of the file may change but it is always related to a file which I do not own and has 0 bytes size.

Any idea about how I can track the root cause?

Thank you and best regards,

Patrik
