 Description   

This causes ever-growing debris to accumulate in /tmp which is often a ramdisk. One solution would be to take advantage of the fact that DEATH_TESTs already examine stdout, and just look for the lines that start with "Created temporary directory:". Another would be to create a TempDir in the parent process and make the child pass that to TempDir::setTempPath, but that will create the TempDir even for tests that don't need it.

Moving this ticket to the Backlog and removing the "Backlog" fixVersion as per our latest policy for using fixVersions.

I like the sandboxing idea – we should restrict tests to writing to a special place just for them, and then just nuke the subdirectory when the test finishes.
