Thanks for testing it. I installed that patch (enclosed again below) into gnulib and the coreutils CVS trunk. Jim, is it OK if I also install this into the coreutils b5_9x branch? It seems fairly important (for HP-UX) and harmless elsewhere. 2006-05-25 Paul Eggert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * lib/tempname.c (small_open, large_open): New macros. (__open, __open64) [!_LIBC]: Remove. (__gen_tempname): Use small_open and large_open instead of __open and __open64. This fixes a portability bug on HP-UX 11.11i reported by Simon Wing-Tang in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2006-05/msg00114.html>. --- lib/tempname.c 23 Sep 2005 04:15:13 -0000 1.17 +++ lib/tempname.c 25 May 2006 21:55:35 -0000 1.18 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ /* tempname.c - generate the name of a temporary file.
