Permission errors testing with /tmp/xx
Hello bash community, I recently ran into an odd issue running the testsuite for bash. After running the scripts, /tmp/xx isn't deleted, and another user can't run the testsuite due to permission errors. Is it possible to specify bash not to use /tmp/xx? Thanks, James

I know this is not a big issue, just a bit annoying in our workspaces. -- James > -- > ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer > ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates > Chet Ramey, ITS, CWRUc...@case.edu > http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/ >
