Yea.  I had noticed that earlier but it didn't really click.  I have
attached a patch.strace file that shows what happens when the patch is
processed.  Looks like it is generating a fake TMP variable based on
the system set TEMP and not the one set in the bashrc.  TMP has
nothing set on it at all.  I only had TEMP defined as /tmp.
