Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:1286 marisn]:
 > clean_temp uses G_gisinit(argv[0]) and thus should never be run outside
 of GRASS session, still it is used in init.bat before location name is set
 on windows and is failing with error: "G_getenv(): Variable LOCATION_NAME
 not set" Calling G_getenv on non-existing variable is an fatal error and
 thus brings down whole startup procedure.

 Probably I overlooked something, `clean_temp` is called in `init.bat` on
 three different places. When I disable redirecting to nuldev and run GRASS
 with `init.bat` I am getting no error messages and `clean_tmp` seems to
 work well.
