[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50183] tempname() returns an empty string on Solaris

[Michele]

Follow-up Comment #21, bug #50183 (project octave):

"What does this script look like for you?"

octave:9> tempname
ans = /var/tmp/oct-lwXcI9
octave:10> tempname
ans = /var/tmp/oct-KV9F39
octave:11> P_tmpdir
ans = /var/tmp/
octave:12> tempdir
ans = /tmp/
octave:13> setenv TMPDIR /tmp
octave:14> tempdir
ans = /tmp/
octave:15> tempname
ans = /var/tmp/oct-FbJ5Ph
octave:16> tempname (tempdir)(tempdir)
ans = /tmp/oct-Koi1Zn
octave:17> tempname (P_tmpdir)(P_tmpdir)
ans = /var/tmp/oct-nzOs0x
octave:18>

So is the whole problem just that I'm trying to run it from my own account
with some unknown permutation of environment variables?
