You don't want it in /tmp, because nothing is being done to
distinguish the logs for difference processes. TRACE mode is not
something you want on indescriminately. You should turn it on when
you have a reason for it, and then turn it off. You're pointlessly
wasting overhead and slowing down Lynx, otherwise.
