Uh, the tempfile name is NOT supposed to include /tmp in the
pathname.  The file is supposed to be created in the spool
directory, and not in /tmp.

'mktemp' does not imply the file must be in /tmp.  In the case
of lpd, moving the filenames into /tmp would make matters worse
instead of better.  (at least for my print servers it would,
in other cases it might not make any difference).

I was just saying that given the pattern being used, which is a
correct pattern, the bug was that mktemp was called BEFORE the
chdir, when it should only be called AFTER the current-directory
has been changed.

If I remember right, the suggested mkstemp patch already fixed
that particular problem.
