This experimental tool write a series of temporary files, the combined size of which is roughly proportional to some combination of the number of objects in the bucket and their respective sizes. Previously the script stored all temporary files in /tmp, which may not be sufficiently large in many cases.

There are now two enhancements. First, using the "-t" command-line argument, the directory for temporary files can be specified. Second, if the script consumes all available space on the file system containing the temporary directory, an error message to that effect is displayed, so the user understands what corrective action to take.
