Yes. And some POSIX systems have exactly the same problem with mkstemp. And 
given how easy it is to write a function which just generates a random file 
name, I see no reason to deal with nonsense like that. As far as I can tell, 
_every_ C function for generating either a random file or a random file name has 
a caveat of some sort.

It's easily done with the right function calls. It's just that their 
declarations are missing. I'll get back to sorting that out soon.
