Only of there's no environment variable named TMPDIR.
So the workaround (or fix?) is obvious: set TMPDIR to something only
writable by legitimate processes, such as the pserver itself.
cvs also listens to a -T command line option, and passes that setting
on to any subprocesses via the TMPDIR environment variable, in that case.
