I think this might have been fixed already, at least locally. I don't know if there are patches released to fix this. The workaround, AFAIK, is to set TMPDIR=/tmp. Alternatively, you can remove the contents of /var/tmp/username* either, and it should let you log in okay without the errors. As we release the sources, it'll be easier for you to rebuild a package and install it onto your machine to fix this issue - hopefully that time will be soon. Glynn
