This is a known issue with old versions of RHIDE, see section 3.3 of the
DJGPP FAQ list.

There's no way for a DJGPP program on DOS/Windows to know that a
directory cannot be written to. An application code can try to write
there and see if that works, but library functions cannot do such things.
Simply make sure your TMPDIR variable is set correctly. This problem is
also mentioned in the FAQ, in several places.
