From: <luc.castillo_at_ineo.com>
Date: 2007-08-30 09:32:19 CEST

Context of the problem:
- Fresh install of RedHat EL3 on a system
- Install of subversion.1.4.4-1 package
-chmod is 777 for the current directory
-chmod is 777 for the /tmp directory
-environment variables TMP, TEMP and TMPDIR unset
- svn co <Base> .
- svn diff StdAfx.h

After a few seconds:
svn:Can't find a temporary directory: Error string not specified yet

strace() of command svn diff
