I don't recognize that file prefix  as one coming from filepro
itself, but you're on 5.6, so maybe it is.

Are they still being created?  Do you only have those files with
today's date?  You might have some cron running that's creating
those with/without filepro.

If the set of files is not changing, then  maybe
someone set up some non-filepro files mapped to /tmp (and maybe
what looks like process #s mean something else).  To check,
stand in each of your filepro directories and run:
grep "\/tmp" */map
