Any script that takes a file from stdin. Without a /tmp directory, 
bash complains:

    bash  ./cmplhelp.sh < pine.hlp > helptext.c
    ./cmplhelp.sh: pipe error: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
                          ^^^
'cmplhelp.sh' contains some pretty large sed and awk scripts piped
into each other, but no references to env-vars. In principle it contains:
  sed 'args' | awk 'more-args'

With a /tmp directory everything is okay.

BTW. this is from building Pine 4.21. The DOS-port is
way behind the Unix-port and is a h*ll to update.
