Ubuntu and OpenSolaris set no environmental variables naming the temporary directory. They do seem to come with a /tmp directory however.
So maybe for POSIX-like systems, we will have to look first for the environmental variables, and then if not found look for specific directories.
I've now done that, changed the tests accordingly, and verified they are passing on Ubuntu Linux. If anyone is aware of any POSIX-like operating systems that don't set TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP, or TEMPDIR environmental variables naming the temporary directory or don't supply a temporary directory named "/tmp", please let us know the name of the temporary directory. Other than that, I guess we just wait for tests to cycle. --Beman
