There seems to be a bug (or feature?) somewhere that limits the number of unique temporary file names used when storing temporary files that are uploaded by posting a form. Looking through my webserver logs of 110000 file uploads, I find no more than 495 unique temporary file names which are being reused again and again.
(File name example: /var/tmp/phpzzJuIt)

I think PHP is supposed to use mkstemp(). From the mkstemp(3) manual:
"The number of unique file names mktemp() can return depends on the number of `Xs' provided; six `Xs' will result in mktemp() selecting one of 56800235584 (62 ** 6) possible temporary file names."

PHP uses 6 Xs. This makes the low number of observed unique file names (495) a bit disappointing.

I have the same problem on the following 2 combinations:
amd64 + freebsd 6.0 + php 5.1 + apache 2.0 prefork MPM (+ several php extensions) amd64 + freebsd 6.2 + php 5.2 + apache 2.2 prefork MPM (+ several php extensions)

Does anyone know what causes this and/or how to fix it?

The attached patch for php 5.2.4 Works For Me(tm), but I'd rather have the problem fixed at it's source than working around it...
