Wow! Strictly speaking I guess that's an NTemacs24 bug, but we do have the option of over-riding the default Emacs tmp location, which may incur some extra house-keeping by the test-runners. I will leave that decision to a maintainer. I guess the makefile could issue a message on windows if an env var is not set? Best, Martyn
