Just as an amusing aside - I had to set up a temp variable for mongrel
once (/var/tmp  & /tmp weren't large enough), so I was prepared for
this particular Rack issue.

Every package seems to want to specify this a different way.  Currently,
using sinatra/passenger from apache, I have one virtual host defined
with the following:

   SetEnv TMPDIR                     /some/big/place
   PassengerUploadBufferDir     /some/other/big/place

TMPDIR points rack to a place where it can (sigh) make its
rewindable input.  (I regularly have multi-GB file uploads,
destined for different filesystem partitions)

PassengerUploadBufferDir points to a place where, somewhat
at phusion's whim, it will use for storing post data.  But it has
to be writable by the apache worker process, so I just give
up and chmod it 1777).

Too Many Buffers!
