To my undestanding each vim instance creates /tmp/vEmReRC like directory. tempname() like functions return a new file within that directory. Vim should cleanup on clean exit in that directory. If vim can't write to that directory I have no idea what happened, but you can explore yourself: Try accessing that file: can you touch, read delete that /tmp/vEmReRC/36 file? That might give you some insight about what might be going wrong. Eg if you do rm -fr /tmp/* or such there will be an issue cause Vim won' t recreate that directory.
