Public bug reported:

Mono uses /tmp as base directory for temporary paths. This can cause
collisions for multiple users using nunit on the same machine (e.g local
developer and CI system). This can be mitigated by using a random base
path (also reducing the possibility for /tmp race attacks) or just
documenting the problem when it occurs and suggesting to use the TMP
environment variable when running under linux

** Affects: nunit-3.0
     Importance: Undecided
