Sure there is. Here's one way. Attempt to do some filtering
operation so that vim will create a temporary directory in /tmp.
Execute "ls -ltr /tmp" to find the name of that directory--it will
be last one in the list. Then filter some text through the command
ls -l /tmp/<tempdir>
where <tempdir> is the directory you found above.
That works for me to show the temporary files and their permissions,
but then I don't see the errors you're seeing.
