It's actually not that uncommon an error.... One "accidentally"
removes /tmp ... and "something" comes along and creates it again....
with completely botched perms:-).
On a Mdv box close to me (resting on my lap:-) one can see the following:
$ ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 10 root root 15680 2008-02-12 19:23 /tmp/
... so ... remember to do the chmod 1777 thing;-).
