 Replying to [comment:17 hamish]:
 > maybe part of this bug was fixed by r37295 (mid May). From July 2008
 G_parser() in 6.4 and 6.5 was silently doing nasty things to option
 settings in memory for options with upper case letters in them.

 Not respecting a user-specified STREAM_DIR option was apparently a bug of
 G_parser(), not r.terraflow. The default answer of /var/tmp or another
 system TEMP folder is IMHO not a good idea because of lack of space. Why
 not leaving it blank, if no answer is given, use the GRASS temp directory?
 That directory should always exist and I guess there is most of the time
 enough space.
