Depends on how bit the files it uses in tmpdir. I've a bug in some code
i'm using
( a FUSE filesystem that uses a cache in /tmp) that runs as root, that
at times places
arbitrarily large files (in my workflow, 5-100 GB) in /tmp, which is on
the root filesystem.
When a process accesses a 100 GB file it overflows / . So I needed to
get it to use an alternate $TMPDIR.
Ignoring $TMPDIR is a critical severity bug for me.
