It should be looking to $II_SYSTEM/ingres/<something> for disk space if it
can't find any elsewhere, for example, /tmp. Heck, even Windows has
C:\TEMP (or varriant thereof).  There's NOTHING that should go into any
ole random directory - ever! - without good cause for it to be the local
current directory of the user. It's not as if it doesn't/can't know where
its disk space is!

I don't know if you write software or not, but I do, and I would be
embarassed beyond belief if any code I wrote behaved this way. Anyway, in
short, it impacts usability (without cause) and is therefore a usability
bug (presuming one ranks the severity of bugs).

Regards,
Richard
