  Thanks for your answer.
  I was reading the man of the functions:
  tmpnam()    tempnam, tmpfile, tmpnam - temporary file routines
  mkstemp()   make temporary file name (unique)

  But i am not sure about how improvement the libraries... i mean, there
  is a patch or something for this specific error???

  Thanks for any "smart" answer.
