Yes, this really stops the blogs software to run through properly and deliver all neccessary data to the calling client. Even if you do not get these errors in sight, they are inside the sent html code and css deliveries.

So, independently upgrading your blog is a need, these error notices indicate that your hoster has to check that your session.save_path /tmp is writeable.

Even more it seems neccessary to clean up the /tmp folder. You hoster should check this with the command df -h /tmp first. Then stop all processes that have files open on /tmp, clean it up and start again.

Some additional infos about /tmp being a virtually created directory or an actual partition, scripts etc, regarding cpanel can be found here:

If a hoster isn't willing to solve this problem successfully, you can avoid the use of the /tmp folder
by using a php.ini or by using a .htaccess directive to use a domain or blog independent temp folder.
How to do this with care, you can read in this very nice howto:
