I got the source of the problem.

If you run OpenOffice using root account, it creates /compat/linux/tmp 
with illegal permissions.

Shouldn't linuxolator report to linux applications that /tmp exists, 
even if we have no /compat/linux/tmp, but have /tmp ? This is a trace of 
opeoffice calls

As you can see, mkdir does not check, that fallback directory exists, 
but creates one under /compat/linux .... is it right?


I'm off the -emulation list, so please cc me.
