When /run/user/$uid is not writeable and TMPDIR is set, e.g. in a container
wine crashes
on startup. Setting XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to a writable folder does not help.
This is caused by the debian patch
debian/patches/fixes/temporary-directory.patch:

Hello,
I could reproduce it inside a temporary VM,
where I did hide /run/user by mounting an empty tmpfs over it.
And, as described, followed by setting the TMPDIR environment.
A closer look shows the pointer returned by secure_getenv in line 39
is then tried to be freed in line 139:
include/wine/server_tmpdir.h
39 root_dir = secure_getenv("TMPDIR");
139 free( root_dir );
Would it be possible to always store a copied buffer in root_dir like this?
39 root_dir = strdup(secure_getenv("TMPDIR"));
Kind regards,
Bernhard
