  Modified files:
    lib/libc/stdio       mktemp.c 
  Log:
  Fix a nasty flaw as a result of using the arc4random() pre-seeding of
  leading XXX's.  It could wrap an uppercase character through chars
  like:  [ \ ] ^ _ `  in between Z and a.  The backslash and back tick
  might be particularly nasty in a shell script context.  Also, since
  we've been using upper-case generated values for a while now, go with
  the flow and use them in the pathname search rotation.
