Thread: unwritable /tmp causes initdb to crash

this is a goofy situtation. 
we had a new linux 2.4.4 kernel with a /tmp not writable by
postgres.  granted, this is categorically hosed, but initdb still dumped core
under these circumstances.  changing the /tmp to writable 
immediately fixed the problem.
