Frankly, people who run tmp cleaners that are that braindead probably

Are we to worry about braindead temp cleaners?  I.e. I'm
sure other apps would have problems with braindead
cleaners, so should we waste resources dealing with
a problem that is not worth addressing?

Regardless, moving them to a configurable tmp
location is not a bad idea -- but I don't want to hit my NFS mounted
home dir every time I make a tmp file.  So I'd make /var/tmp/<user> or
/tmp/<user> and point to that.

I'm unsure if real-time performance is super critical
with nmh.  If going with /var/tmp/<user>, you still
do not completely avoid braindead cleaners since you are
still working under the system tmp directory.
