Specifically, something like /var/tmp is intended for voluminous
temporary output.

Most programs with any significant temporary data usage allow their
temporary directory to be specified (often by setting the TMPDIR
environment variable); if AIDE does not allow this then I would
consider that a wishlist bug.
