Hi,
If this was Linux, we'd just strace(1) the pipeline and see what the
kernel was being asked to do for starters. I don't know if something
like
http://www.intellectualheaven.com/default.asp?BH=projects&H=strace.htm
would be any use on Vista. It may show precisely where the temporary
file is successfully opened and what's happening around the fdopen().
BTW, I noticed src/libs/libgroff/tmpfile.cpp:xtmpfile() never returns a NULL
FILE pointer, it exits if there's a problem, so callers don't need to check.
That means the run of calls to it in src/preproc/html/pre-html.cpp don't need
their following if-statements, e.g. it can be
fclose(xtmpfile(&psPageName, PS_TEMPLATE_LONG, PS_TEMPLATE_SHORT,
TRUE));
for each of the temporary files it wants the names of.
Cheers,
Ralph.
