Default Re: Linux question

OK for future reference:
while it seemed like a good idea for every blitz to keep its random-generated map and the temp files all in the savedgames directory (easier cleanup), it looks like I wont be doing that.

Setting the environmental variables seems to ruin some sort of good neighbor sharing code in the game. The CPU load climbed and climbed. Trying to do it for many blitz games crashed the (older) server. So Im going to set this aside as a successful test but no thanks.
