New description:
The following test from {{{sage/interfaces/r.py}}} breaks when
{{{$TMPDIR}}} (by default {{{/tmp}}}) is a symbolic link:
{{{
EXAMPLES::
sage: import tempfile
sage: tmpdir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
sage: r.chdir(tmpdir)
On Linux, we could use ``tmpdir == sageobj(r.getwd())``
to test this, but Mac prepends ``/private/`` to such
directories, so we check that the directory name string
is in the working directory string instead::
sage: tmpdir in sageobj(r.getwd())
True
}}}
