{bb} Filesystem of $BBTMP is full on Red Hat 5

["Calderon, Willy (NIH/NINDS) [C]" <calderow@ninds.nih.gov>]

We've been getting "Filesystem of $BBTMP is full since installing
bbclient 1.9i software on RedHat machines. The only way we could find to
fix was to comment out the test part of the script. 

It seems that with the new RedHat 5 using /dev/shm for /tmp files the
bbclient broke. It would tell me the bbrother /tmp area was full, every
time.

In the /bin directory, in bb-disk.sh, it starts the disk test with an
eval and puts the results in a temporary file in /tmp/DFOUT.$$. It then
tests this file 4 times - 1. Does it exist (-f) 2. Is it readable? (-r)
3. Is it writable? (-w).

The 4th test [ ! -s $BBTMP/DFOUT.$$ ] contained the exact error message
I was seeing - "Filesystem of $BBTMP is FULL" The -s tests to see if the
file length is greater than zero. Apparently it's not - and the !
reverses the sense so the test is always true. )-;

I'm not sure *why* this actually works on other machines? But when you
comment-out this one test (3 lines in bb-disk.sh) the client starts and
runs normally.

We've got a few RedHat 5 machines coming online and this would be a bit
of a pain.
