odd tmpfs behaviour

[Christian Reis]

Just a quick question, to see if anyone has run into this problem
before: I'm using tmpfs mounted with default options on to /tmp. 

I hadn't noticed this before, but my config.status scripts (for any sw
package; stunnel-3.22 is my current example here) now loop endlessly
because, apparently, the files in /tmp/cs*/ don't change when written to
in a very short while loop. 

As a short test, I compared using /tmp which is tmpfs to /var/tmp, which
is reiserfs, and the difference shows: in /tmp, I get an infinite loop;
in /var/tmp, 4 iterations. Anybody seen this?

I can attach a strace file if it will help somebody; let me know.

Take care,
