Comment (by till):

 I agree with the previous poster while I understand that this is very
 technical, etc..

 I ran into the same issue for the sake of testing, I even set {{{0777}}}
 (yes, I know it's insecure), but the test inside this function still
 failed. {{{define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');}}} was my only possible work-
 around.

 Generally, I'm also wondering why a temporary file needs to be created
 when a {{{is_writable()}}} should suffice?
