No.  The DJGPP version of mkstemp does TRT, even though invoking it
with a template such as "conftestXXXXXX" is a bit risky (the library
docs warns against that).  Still, it copes (by truncating the
characters before the XXXXXX part: you get coXXXXXX.tmp instead).

But thanks for making the change that avoids the risky usage.
