Part of this feature involves patching applications to write temporary
files to /var/tmp instead of /tmp. Reindl's point is that this change
will cause temporary files that were previously written to the /tmp
filesystem that he had explicitly prepared for this purpose to instead
be written to /var/tmp and fill up his / filesystem
