Not sure if the error handling is adequate --- are there any cases
besides EEXIST that should loop?
A look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt__tempnam.2c_._wtempnam.2c_.tmpnam.2c_._wtmpnam.asp
suggests that tempnam() is also pretty fragile, esp. if you're passing
NULLs. Apparently it won't work at all if TMP isn't set?
