Are you saying you have some patch file that fails on a hunk in u_print.c?
Where did you get that patch file?  I only publish complete sources.

Also, I don't have anything to do with Debian except to help Roland Rosenfeld
when he has problems/questions about xfig/transfig.

Hello. Both patch found in Debian and fix in xfig.3.2.5b miss hunk for
u_print.c:

sprintf(tmp_fig_file, "%s/%s%06d", TMPDIR, "xfig-fig", getpid());

(noticed by Tomas Hoger:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505257#c1)

and thus insecure use of temporary files is still possible. I failed to
find fix and thus I've recreated it from scratch:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/media-gfx/xfig/files/xfig-3.2.5b-mkstemp.patch?rev=1.1&view=markup

Please, check patch and if it's correct apply both in Debian and upstream.

Thanks,
