Which stupid has written maketempname() with

  static char *
  maketempname (int count)
  {
    static char *tempbase = NULL;
    char tempsuffix[10];

    if (!tempbase)
      {
        int fd;
        tempbase = concat (tempdir, "txidxXXXXXX");

        fd = mkstemp (tempbase);
        if (fd == -1)
          pfatal_with_name (tempbase);
      }

    sprintf (tempsuffix, ".%d", count);
    return concat (tempbase, tempsuffix);
  }

which uses mkstemp only once and returns after
this only new but easy predictable file names?

The correct way is to use alwaya mkstemp and
return the file descriptor for an fdopen().

With a few modification we can use mkdtemp() to create
a sub directory which then includes all temporary files.

Replace mkstemp with mkdtemp

AFAIS this should work, any test file around here?

Hmmm .... sort_offline() does not do its job even without the patch.

OK, I've submit to STABLE and have for

     9.0, 9.1/SLES9, 9.2, 9.3 and 10.0

the packages ready. 8.1 is not required
because the old texinfo version was already
fixed by me (but the developer upstream can
not read).

Which SLES9 should be used:

    /work/src/done/SLES9
    /work/src/done/SLES9-BETA
    /work/src/done/SLES9-SP3

... and I need patchinfo data.
    

Thanks. :)

I'll do the patchinfo and swamp job...

...and I do not know which sles9 should be used.

its easy. 
 
security fixes are always provided for the currently released line. 
Not Beta, Not SP. 
 
Directly to SLES9. Since you submitted to 9.1 already it is already there. 
 
Thanks!
