I fully agree. I also needed to protect a complete subdirectory of
/tmp, read the tmpreaper source to be sure it works the way I *expect*
it to deal with this case, and ended up with the very same conclusion.
Paul, please apply this patch. It picks the safe (and more useful) of
the two possible interpretations of the --protect parameter (i.e.,
protects all files within a protected subdirectory from being deleted).
