hmmm... what about the rest of the file system? Is / all on one
partition? What are the permissions on /tmp? and does /bin exist at
this point?

I looked at the code and the issue is $log_file, which gets set early
on but could be changed in a number of circumstances. But they all
center around the use of /tmp and /bin/tempfile. I think somehow
you're getting a null $log_file and thus causing this ambiguous
redirect.
I'm not sh pro by any stretch, so
ymmv.
