I think this might have been fixed already, at least locally. I don't
know if there are patches released to fix this. The workaround, AFAIK,
is to set TMPDIR=/tmp. Alternatively, you can remove the contents
of /var/tmp/username* either, and it should let you log in okay without
the errors.

As we release the sources, it'll be easier for you to rebuild a package
and install it onto your machine to fix this issue - hopefully that time
will be soon.
