That's odd, for some reason it is allowed to create a directory in /tmp 
but not open a socket, you could try creating your own tmp directory 
somewhere other than /tmp maybe. You'll have to change socket_prefix in 
both the config file and in client-perl.cgi for CGI:IRC to recognise 
the new path.
