I'm not sure this is really GCL bug. The point that gcl always resets *tmp-dir* on start up. But this doesn't happen with Maxima image. Probably Maxima itself should take care of resetting *tmp-dir*.
Why is *tmp-dir* not assigned correctly in the Maxima image? If Maxima is preventing GCL from assigning this value correctly, or causing GCL to assign it incorrectly, it is a Maxima bug. Otherwise it is a GCL bug. On the whole I don't think Maxima should try to manage internal variables for each Lisp implementation. There is probably already some of that happening now, but I think we should steer away from doing more of it.
