Public bug reported:

Something keeps regularly changing the file permissions on /tmp so that
it is not writeable by any user other than root:

$ ls -ald /tmp
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 900 2007-05-03 19:27 /tmp

so that user jobs which need to write temporary files fail until I
manually change the permissions to allow all users to write to /tmp. But
after a period (unfortunately I'm not sure how long) the permissions
revert to the wrong values again.

/tmp is a tmpfs filesystem, specified in /etc/fstab as:
/dev/tmpfs      /tmp    tmpfs   size=20g,noatime        0 0
