Yes, this should be fixed. Not sure whether a valgrind specific environment
variable
is needed. TMPDIR usually serves this purpose in unix-like OSes and should
probably
be used instead. Can you file a bug, so this won't fall through the cracks?
See http://valgrind.org/support/bug_reports.html for some info on how to do
that.
