Comment(by mstone):

 $SAR/tmp is not available to Sugar because it is created in a separate
 namespace. We create it in a separate namespace in order to use the
 kernel's garbage-collection mechanisms to collect the tmpfs as soon as the
 processes for which it was created have exited.

 Fortunately, several alternatives are available. Activities and Sugar can
 communicate through $SAR/instance or through /tmp proper. $SAR/instance is
 nand-backed and is therefore suitable for large files. /tmp is RAM-backed
 and is available in the shortest terms but suggesting it makes me
 uncomfortable because I do not know what safety guarantees I will be able
 to provide about its usage.
