To my undestanding each vim instance creates /tmp/vEmReRC like
directory.

tempname() like functions return a new file within that directory.
Vim should cleanup on clean exit in that directory.

If vim can't write to that directory I have no idea what happened, but
you can explore yourself: Try accessing that file: can you touch, read
delete that /tmp/vEmReRC/36 file?

That might give you some insight about what might be going wrong.
Eg if you do rm -fr /tmp/* or such there will be an issue cause Vim won'
t recreate that directory.
