"And what is the "default" temp directory on such systems?"

That's a default so unsecure that you should never trust it to be something specific.

Look for a TEMP environment variable. If you find one (in most cases you do) then take the liberty to write your temp files in the directory indicated in TEMP.


Everything went worng, just as foreseen.
