I have to wonder whether things that expected to be able to write huge
files to temporary disk space are modified to continue to do so, rather
than run out of RAM.

As a case in point, I had tried using tmpfs for /tmp, in the past, only
to find that I couldn't burn DVDs any more.  I didn't have enough RAM to
hold the entire disc image that was going to be burnt.

And I dare say that the GIMP may be a problem, if it tries to put huge
temp files in RAM, when editing on large image files.
