I'm starting to dislike creating a safe temporary directory inside of
tempdir.  Doing this causes all kinds of cascading problems with the
test suite, and with atexit handling (to ensure this temporary,
temporary directory is properly cleaned up for both graceful and
ungraceful exits).

At this late date I think it may not be worth the extra hassle,
especially in light of the comments in LP: #1233521.  So I think I will
*not* do this but instead ensure that [system]tempdir is root-only
(specifically 02700).
