?tempdir says
By default, ‘tmpdir’ will be the directory given by ‘tempdir()’.
This will be a subdirectory of the temporary directory found by
the following rule. The environment variables ‘TMPDIR’, ‘TMP’ and
‘TEMP’ are checked in turn and the first found which points to a
writable directory is used: if none succeeds ‘/tmp’ is used.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work as advertised.

Our /tmp/ directory is not very large, so I'd like to create tempdir()'s
in someplace that has space.
