Ah. Hadn't thought about it before, but the infinite-loop-on-
nonwritable-$PGDATA bug would also trigger for nonwritable /tmp.
(The bug was actually in CreateLockFile, which is used both to
create a lockfile in $PGDATA and one in /tmp. Sigh.)
This is fixed in current sources. If we were going to do a 7.1.3
then I'd backpatch the fix into the REL7_1 branch, but at this point
I suspect there won't be a 7.1.3 --- we'll probably go into 7.2 beta
in another five or six weeks, so there's not much point.
regards, tom lane
