- restor/dumpdir tempfiles
- Both dumpdir and the x subcommand of restor create temporary files
- with names of the form "rstXXXXXX" in the *current directory*.
- Moreover, they are very careless about cleaning up after themselves,
- which can lead to annoying junk files left around. It is the work of
- a moment to change them to put these files in /tmp instead. This may
- reduce their usability somehow under conditions of extreme system damage,
- but I can't visualize the circumstances.
