I have asked this before, and maybe it is just a lame questions,
but why is L_tmpdir "/var/tmp" ?  Why not "/tmp" ?  And what is
the difference between the two ?  I use all the tmpdir family of
calls and having my temporary file is "/var/tmp" kinda sucks
if /tmp is mfs (also, they tend not to be cleared on system startup).

thanks
jay
