I fixed both of these- the HyperHelp problem was due to a missing symlink
needed when we went to sun4x_57; the temp file problem was due to my not
having thought to test launching it in a non-writable directory- at least the
error message said exactly what to fix, which is a heck of a lot more
than you get from most applications :-)
Fix should be out by the next AFS propagation.
