IMHO this is correct.  We are not using a temporary directory but a
using /tmp as directory known to be local.  This is a requirement for
creating a socket.  Consider the case the user would set TMPDIR to a
remotely mounted file system on a very fast server; depending on the
file system you would not be able to create a socket then.
