I had a disk failure when I tried to run s-nail (my fault) but it gave infinite errors instead of quitting after the first try:
EXT4-fs error (device sda4): ext4_journal_check_start:61: Detected
aborted journal
EXT4-fs (sda4): Remounting filesystem read-only
s-nail: $TMPDIR is not a directory or not accessible: /tmp
