The "temp-dir" variable is where temporary files are written.  These are
normally cleaned up by Snd before it exits, but here at ccrma the abnormal
can happen.  So, the "-temp-dir" argument makes sysadmins happy (or less
unhappy?) -- orphaned temp files can be deleted ("zapped") upon logout, and
precious disk space conserved.  In your case, "." is fine, I think -- if Snd
crashes with edits in progress, you may notice a .snd file left behind.

Yes, please send me whatever (mus-audio-describe) prints out; also
if possible, run Snd under gdb, hit the segfault, and get a stack trace --
that will tell me where to look first.  Thanks!
