Package: mktemp
Version: 1.5-9
Severity: normal

If mktemp cannot create a file from the template because all possible
file names are already taken, it hangs instead of exiting
unsuccessfully.  To reproduce, just run 

for i in $(seq 53); do mktemp /tmp/foo.X; done

and see the last of the invocations hang.  Severity set to normal, since
this is unlikely to occur if the template is chosen more reasonably (six
or more X's).
