We have had the sticky bit set on /tmp (in the baselayout ebuild) for a very
long time.  If your /tmp directory was created by the baselayout ebuild, then
your sticky bit should have been set too.  Could you please try to track down
the cause of this problem, as it isn't a simple case of us forgetting to set
the sticky bit.
