I know :) I've racked my brain for a cleaner shell-based way to fold 
"continuation lines" but I didn't come up with anything better than python.

Indeed. On Mac OS X 10.5.2 you get temporary directories like this:

 >>> tempfile.mkdtemp()
'/var/folders/Ju/Ju4ttfuQEtnlI1Z-UOyadE+++TI/-Tmp-/tmph-2EnL'

That's because the system sets:
$ echo $TMPDIR
/var/folders/Ju/Ju4ttfuQEtnlI1Z-UOyadE+++TI/-Tmp-/

Which is probably some securiy-related feature.

And /var is a symlink to /private/var so the actual path when retrieved 
in some cases, like when running the tests, is even longer.
