What is your /tmp? Possibilities:

1. swap-backed /tmp (useful). Use of swap hits free space in /tmp
2. a fairly traditional practice of creating a /tmp file, and unlinking
it immediately (while holding a file open on it). temp files are thus
cleaned up automatically when the program exits.

fstat /tmp to find the latter.
