I noticed that if I use:

$ TMPDIR=/var/tmp /usr/local/ecl/bin/ecl
> (load "httpd")

Everything works fine, however, with in ~/.eclrc:
(ext:setenv "TMPDIR" "/var/tmp/")

$ ktrace /usr/local/ecl/bin/ecl
> (ext:getenv "TMPDIR")
"/var/tmp"
> (load "httpd")

Then the mmap(2) EPERM error is issued, with ktrace showing that
"/tmp/" is still used.  I then noticed that the translation is assigned
from the environment variable before ~/.eclrc is evaluated in
config.lsp.in.

However, if using instead in ~/.eclrc:

(setf (logical-pathname-translations "TMP")
 `(("**;*.*" ,(format nil "~A/**/*.*" "/var/tmp"))))

Then everything works fine.  Unless I'm mistaken, this is a standard
interface, which is not likely to change unexpectedly?

Thanks again,
