80 gives about 3.5 to 4.5 characters of context, which seems to be
enough in most cases. 70 is definitely too tiny, 75 is on the edge (I
could probably live with it). 80 m

Hi all,
the next Nightly build will have a significantly tightened Linux
sandbox. Writes are no longer allowed except to shared memory (for IPC),
and to the system TMPDIR (and we're eventually going to get rid of the
latter, perhaps with an intermediate step to a Firefox-content-specific
tmpdir).
