>Environment:
A root directory with only 10MB or so free on it.
>Description:
I've been noticing that my locate database updated have been failing
lately, and finally bothered to trace through the log file and notice
that it was dying on a /: file system full. It seems to me that TMPDIR
should default to /var/tmp for such a temp-space hungry application as
this, rather than /tmp.
>How-To-Repeat:
Have a close-to-full root filesystem and wait for 2am. :-)
