mkstemp problem introduced from 2.5.5 to 2.5.6

[Kent Hunt]

Hello,

Please let me know if this is a bug or a feature.
I used to be able to do the following with 2.5.5.
On a remote host I have /mytree and I mirrored at my 
local host as a regular user doing
rsync -avz --delete kent at host:/mytree /.

with 2.5.6 I get
mkstemp .file.aFhK3N failed: Permission denied
probably because rsync2.5.6 is attempting to create a 
temporary file on the root directory, which I don't
have write permission. On the local host I have
permission to write on /mytree.

adding something like -T /tmp solves the problem but
why did it use to work in 2.5.5 but no longer does?

Thanks!

Pleace cc.
