The worst part is that we talked about this some weeks ago... I should take 
notes. So I guess that now TMPDIR must point to "R:" (my alias) and not to 
"u:/ram"? Or does the aliasing makes it the same? I mean, what happens if an 
application tries to obtain the free space available on $TMPDIR and $TMPDIR 
points to "u:/ram"?
