For example, when your home directory is actually on an NFS mounted volume. Changing your TMPDIR to ~/tmp is pretty much insane in that case, setting yourself up for painfully slow write operations on files that SHOULD be considered "throw-away" anyway. Now, per-user temp directories to some configurable local disk or tmpfs would be ideal. -- Chad Walstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */
