TMPDIR is documented but many utilities and user applications do
not use the new tempnam() function but rather the old mktemp().
With Release 2 of UNIX System V, the C compiler has been changed
to use /usr/tmp by default.  The main utility that concerns me is
"sort", which can really eat up temp space.
