as explained by Brad it is not the CWD that needs to be writeable but a
TMPDIR (which for root can also be the current directory) and that is
detected by APR.

Recent Linux (since around kernel 2.4.16) requires a ramdrive mounted in
/dev/shm, so one way to workaround this problem is to define :

  TMPDIR=/dev/shm

3.0 gmetric is not affected and so could be also used as an alternative.
