One idea is to make tmp its own fs so it does not fill root.

Maybe it is possible to have mount -a mount a loop device as  /tmp

#1) Create a blank file somewhere for tmp
    dd if=/dev/zero of=/etc/tmp.fs bs=1024k count=100

2) Mount the file
    losetup /dev/loop0 /etc/tmp.fs
    mount /dev/loop0 /tmp

Maybe someone here would know an fstab entry that iwll automagically do
#2
