I've been having lots of problems with the pkg_add command.  I am running out of space
on /var/tmp where pkg_add likes to use as a "staging" area while it downloads.  The man
page says that if you use the -t option you can specify that it download to another
location such as /usr/tmp/instmp.XXXXXX  and it will download all it needs there.  I keep
doing this and pkg_add continues to download to /var/tmp and overflow the directory!!!

Can anybody out there help please?
