Well, this isn't actually a temp file. Once it's written and closed, I want to move it into its final location as quickly as possible, so I thought it would be good to have it in the same directory where it's going to end up and avoid doing a copy. But if this kind of thing is going to happen, you

You don't need it in the same directory, you need it on the same
volume to avoid the copy.

Um, I know that. But apr_file_mktemp doesn't let you control where the temp file goes, right? And now that I think of it, the file can be fairly large. Grmph. If it is OS X, this seems like an *egregious* violation of unix filesystem semantics. -T
