Too many tempfiles #185

Closed mgree closed 3 days ago

mgree commented 4 days ago

try creates many tempfiles, but we should just stash everything in the sandbox.

This issue manifests as "too many links" errors when /tmp fills up from many runs from try, eg, in a testbed. A workaround for now is to set TMPDIR to something fresh for each run of try and then delete that directory when done.
