Well, I found it, but IIUC it just handles tmpfs (RAM backed), but I 
needed to use actual disk space: RAM is needed for the job :)

export TMPDIR=...
from TaskProlog script. Surely missing something important. Maybe 
TaskProlog is called as a subshell? In that case it can't alter caller's 
env... But IIUC someone made it work, and that confuses me...
