TMPTIME is set to 0, which means that /tmp is cleaned on every boot.
With laptops running out of power, this can cause data loss.

Please consider setting TMPTIME to 1 or more. It'll hardly hurt (I
have it set to 90 on all machines), but it could mean that data in
/tmp (e.g. mutt emails) can be recovered after a machine goes down
unexpectedly.

Thanks,
