Bryan,

are you using an XFS file system? If so then I think that the workaround
for Performer 1.2 is to set PFTMPDIR to a directory on an EFS filesystem
If you only have one disk then you will have to create a new partition
& put an EFS filesystem on it.
I had a feeling that there was also a program written by someone that you
could use to modify your old executable to make it work.

cheers,
        Craig
