This is a long-standing bug in DUP, and i'm not sure if DUP is
leveraged here, but .... Dell at least needs to switchover to using
TMPDIR or something so end-users can at least work-around the bug,
but i suspect noone at Dell is allocated the development time to fix
that.

Those of us who would like to use noexec on /tmp seem to be a
minority, and there are certainly other things that seem to require
the ability to create temporary executed scripts in /tmp (logrotate,
IIRC, being a showstopper for me)
