Comment 6 for bug 905468

Interesting. I still think it's likely the file is getting created and then deleted, but now I have no evidence of that.

2 things:

1. Could you attach the entire debug file to this bug?
2. You could make sure the temp file is getting created? Here are the steps I used:

sudo aptitude install inotify-tools

In one terminal window do this:
while inotifywait -e create /tmp
do
done

Then in another terminal window run
pine -d9

and open an attachement (with v-v)

The first terminal window should spit out the file creation event
Mine looks like this:

gsker@veeta:/tmp> while inotifywait -e create /tmp/
do
done

press Ctrl-C to or close the terminal when you are done.
