Update of bug #55565 (project octave):

Follow-up Comment #4:

I made a further refinement on your change after testing on my system:

https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/2b6aa96a5c82

Just a reminder that P_tmpdir and tempdir are not necessarily the same, and
that tempdir is always preferred since it gives the user control over where
temporary files are made. So with that, this works for me and solves the
original problem, closing as fixed. I see no need to graft these fixes onto
stable.
