Input log written to $TMPDIR

[Raymond Page]

I'm curious why the log that I provide as input to lr_log2report 
is written to $TMPDIR.  If the log file is being recorded to a 
dlf, can't it just process the log in place and write only to the 
temporary dlf store?

I ask because I'm processing gigabyte sendmail logs.  Having a 1GB 
log file written decompressed to tempspace and then written into 
the SQLite database seems like somewhere there's extra work being 
done which is using a lot of disk space.
