[Wine Bugs]

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1947

           Summary: Illegal contents of environment variable TEMP passed to
                    Linux application
           Product: Wine
           Version: 20031212
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: eetasoft at online.ee


If Windows application runs Linux program, WINE passes a Windows
path to Linux application through TEMP environment variable.

This causes some applications, like Ghostscript, to fail.

To reproduce:

1. Create a file test.ps in home directory. 
2. From an application running under WINE, invoke Linux command

/usr/bin/ps2pdf test.ps test.pdf

If you are using Visual FoxPro, this can be done using command

RUN /N /usr/bin/ps2pdf test.ps test.pdf

3. Observed result:
test.pdf file is not created
Cryptic message

**** unable to open the initial device, quitting

appears in WINE console

Note. Yes, this can be fixed using unset TEMP command.
However, I expect that WINE will not pass TEMP variable in a such way.
