Ugh, the code in tclUnixFCmd.c and tclUnixPipe.c are different in what
they respect. That's bad. The code in tclUnixPipe.c also includes
near-duplications, which isn't good code-smell either.

If you're up to recompiling in this particular situation, edit
tclUnixPipe.c to alter the definition of P_tmpdir (after all #includes
have been done) to be the location that is permissible. (Really, that
ought to be set to the correct place during the build process, but it
sounds like it isn't for some reason.)

And do file a bug on this. Too much duplication with things wrong in too
many places.

Donal.
