Definitely!  Maybe you should  strace netscape when you run it and see
what's actually going on?  I've certainly never had this problem.  BTW,
when setting the TEMP variable the best option is to create a directory
under your home dir (eg, ~/.tmp) and 'export TEMP=$HOME/.tmp'.  Thus any
temporary files created are in a directory under your control -- this is
particularly important for root.  The only situation I can think of
where this might be a problem is if where there is some sort of disk
space limitation (e.g., a quota) in which case you may exceed your quota
by putting the files under your home directory but these files are
typically not big and this shouldn't be a problem in most cases.

Christian.
