Isn't xbru still a Tcl script? It should not be too hard to locate
references to /tmp/ and fix the problem. I've got an older copy of
BRU on my system & it has a similar problem, but not exactly the same.
Anyhow, a general fix would be 1) putting the following code at the
beginning of the Tcl script that xbru uses (on my system, that's xbru.tcl)
and 2) replacing each instance of the string "/tmp" (without quotations)
with the string "[brufixGetTmpdir]" (without quotations). As a variant of
step 1), you could save this as /usr/local/lib/brufix-tmpdir.tcl or
something and modify xbru to add
source /usr/local/lib/brufix-tmpdir.tcl
near the beginning of the script, to make the changes cleaner.
