testShardStatusFileIsCreatedWithListTests test fails on Mac OS X

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download and extract gtest 1.3.0 source
2. Make sub-directory called build inside the extracted folder
3. Switch to the build directory and run ../configure, make, make check

Expected output is all tests passing.  Instead one test fails with the
following output:

ERROR: Tests that the shard file is created with --gtest_list_tests.
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../test/gtest_filter_unittest.py", line 526, in

    test_tmpdir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/
 python2.5/tempfile.py", line 328, in mkdtemp
    _os.mkdir(file, 0700)
 OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/folders/mk/

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version 1.3.0 of Google Test on Mac OS X.  I also use gtest on a Ubuntu
8.10 box, which did not have this problem.

Thanks for the report.  Unfortunately we don't have the resources to work on

Would you like to investigate a fix and share it with us?  Thanks.

Closed for lack of user response.  Please re-open it if you are still seeing the
problem in the latest version of gtest (1.4.0).
