I dislike that a lot.
I think Aaron's point is correct. And, this goes to what Stas was mentioning this morning. =) Stas seems to be a bit ahead of us. My $.02: apr_initialize should take the "default" tmp path and then subsequent apps can call apr_tmppath() (or whatnot) to create a temp file in the default temp dir. I'd imagine they could play naughty and still use /tmp, but that's not our fault. -- justin
