Size of /tmp inadequate

In direct-save mode, that is, Easy not running in RAM but saving direct to the storage media, folder /tmp has a tmpfs filesystem mounted on it. The size of that filesystem is determined in the 'init' script in the initrd.
Forum member Caramel found that under certain circumstances, the size of the tmpfs is too small, see forum:

Now fixed.
Note that most users will stay with the default running-in-RAM
mode and won't encounter this issue.
