Advice: EXT3_LINK_MAX limitation

[Andreas J. Koenig]

I have been bitten by an ext3 limitation that only allows ~32000
subdirectories per directory.

So I added this sanity check before every smoke iteration:

  my $tmpdir = File::Temp::tempdir(
                                   "smoker-XXXXXX",
                                   DIR => "/tmp",
                                   CLEANUP => 1,
                                  ) or die $!;

If your temp directory is on ext3, or some other file system with
limitations, I'm sure you want to do something similar.
