[Bug 3832] New: $TMPDIR causes spamd to hang

http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3832

           Summary: $TMPDIR causes spamd to hang
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: rdt@cs.queensu.ca


On my Fedora 2 system, spamd starts normally but goes into an infinite loop when
spamc calls it.  When I did an strace on spamd, it turned out to be a problem
with permissions on files in /root/tmp, which is what root has as its TMPDIR. If
TMPDIR is unset, spamd/spamc work normally.
This problem is presumably related to the following change:

SpamAssassin now uses a temporary file in /tmp (or $TMPDIR, if that's
    set in the environment) for Pyzor and DCC checks.
