I think I would want echo blah > /tmp/junk nto to start failing on my just because there is a file called junk already in there. Modifying libc is too deep rooted a change; and modifes the semantics of /tmp in an unacceptable fashion. I think the goals are laudable -- but something like this should not be unleased even on unstable. If any such libc is released it should go into experimental, not unstable. Then one may install the library on test systems as one wishes. manoj -- "In every country and every age, the priest has been hostile to Liberty."
