Oh, thanks for pointing this out, I forgot $TEMP. I assume your
default mount mode is textmode as well? Anyway, since $TMPDIR
exists, it will be used by patch.
Just FYI, patch uses the following sequence:
if exists($TMPDIR) use it
else if exists($TMP) use it
else if exists($TEMP) use it
else use /tmp

So everything is mounted textmode.
