Hmm, interesting. From _init(), ReadFile("gambas") gets called, which
constructs a path "theme/gambas" to load the default theme which is then
copied to a temporary location, which is the famous line 59.

But the path to copy the theme file to is obtained from Temp$() so if this
directory doesn't exist, some node in the path /tmp/gambas.UID/PID/ does not
exist (which would be strange) or Temp$() is broken...
