I have PFTMPDIR set to /dev/zero

When I try to run certain Performer demos, such as "tele", I get the
following error regarding PFTMPDIR (some others work ok, and my own
databases read just fine into perfly) :

"Performer Fatal (2): pfInit: statfs failed for /dev/zero="

I have tried setting PFTMPDIR to a file on a local drive with 4GB free,
but also get the same error.

What's the problem here?

Thanks for any help.
