>Description:
mk-amd-map(8) from amd(8) uses mktemp() to get a unique filename for a temporary file.
It cannot be ported to mkstemp() because it later on does a dbm_open(), so it should be better to add O_EXCL to the dbm_open() flags so it would return an error if the file already exists.  
>How-To-Repeat:
look at src/contrib/amd/mk-amd-map/mk-amd-map.c
there is
    mktemp(maptmp);
around line 290 and at line 310 there is:
    db = dbm_open(maptmp, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0444);

Errors produced by dbm_open() are handled.

     if (!db) {
