I am using Debian 1.3.1, that I have installed only few days ago. Last friday, meanwhile I was connected to the Net via ppp, the Afterstep WM crashed. No way to restart it. Afterstep writes some kind of information into /tmp. Only some time after I realized that the permissions of /tmp were no longer: drwxrwxrwt but: drwxr-xr-x and Afterstep was no longer able to write into that directory. I have no idea about who or what could have changed the permissions. I also carefully looked to tcp daemons logs, but did not find anything strange. Hope this help.
