This is a bug in the version of APR shipping in Fedora Core 1. I've
filed https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128144 and
we'll get an update issued.

Ok. This what I know. I installed it from yum. yum install httpd
This is what i get when I check the version of httpd:
# httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.0.50
Server built: Jul 1 2004 08:49:07
Now... I don't know what that server built is referring to because I had
httpd running for some time now and I did a remove and install on it
only after I sent the first email about this problem. This is running
on Linux, RedHat fedora core 1 if that makes any difference.

Ok. I don't see any problem there.
One question: are you *absolutely positive* that you are using the
htpasswd from 2.0.50. Some previous versions have a bug that could be
causing this.
In particular, check to see that the version of apache that you used
to compile htpasswd has this fix:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/apr/file_io/unix/tempdir.c?r1=1.2.2.1&r2=1.2.2.2

I really am not trying to be difficult. I have tried this as root and
no matter where I try I get the same result. And root can write
anywhere but just in case something was funny, I tried it in various
directories and get the same error. I don't know exactly what it is I
should be looking for in the syscall so I put the last few lines from
after I put in the password.:

I don't see any reference to a temp dir though.

You're not being very proactive here, which means we need to keep on
playing Q&A... Have you actually tried to write a file to /tmp
yourself?
Can you try
strace htpasswd -cm svn-auth-file user1
and look at the syscall that attempts to write to /tmp to see why it is failing.

/tmp has 150MB left.

That's not surprising, since that is already in the list of
directories that will be tried by default.
Does /tmp perhaps have no diskspace left?

I have my env set to /tmp TEMP=/tmp but I still get that error message
even if I try it as root.

apr (the library used by htpasswd) looks in the following locations to
find a writable directory to store temp files:
$TMP
$TEMP
$TMPDIR
"C:\TEMP" (windows only)
"SYS:\TMP" (netware only)
"/tmp"
"/var/tmp"
"/usr/tmp"
P_tmpdir (POSIX define)
`pwd`
Apparently, none of them work in your case. You can fix this by
setting the environment variable TEMP (or TMP or TMPDIR) to the path
to a writable directory.
