We have enough problems with security, we don't need to add mkstemp()
to the fray after the time had been spent to make it secure. I don't
give a fart what the 'standards' say... creating files in /tmp is
already an extremely dangerous proposition. Don't screw it up even more
by de-securing the function call!
