The current development version tries a bit harder to generate a unique
name for the temporary directory, but it's still pretty predictable.
Someone with a shell account on a machine usually has lots of ways to
deny services to other users of the machine (forking process as quickly
as possible, using up all the space or inodes on /tmp, etc.), so I'm not
sure it's really worth doing anything about.
