Tell xcdroast to unpack its files elsehwere.
/tmp is for programs that need temporary files. Traditionally it's been
_quite_ small -- 16-32 MB on many Unices. I tend to make it 100-200 MB
these days. Apps which need more temporary storage should specify this,
I'd typically use /var (which I size at 1GB+) for this.
For your own personal work, I'd size a large /home partition and dump
stuff there.
