Will keep in mind for the future, do you want me to revert the change?

The patch looks safe. However if you would have asked before commiting, Johannes would have said no, since its simply not critical enough to bring any risk to the release process at this point. Then again, this fixes a bug, its in CVS, so it seems like children finger slapping to ask for a revert.

We have to trust that people do not intentionally go against what we ask and we have to also hope that people realize that this is a sensitive for the 5_3 branch and then check posts from the RM's before committing. I guess we should maybe define some subject prefix to give such posts additional visible weight and maybe I should more clearly state the current commit policy for 5_3 on some static webpage/wiki. But I also think this is not the right moment to come up with such policies. After we get 5.3.0 stable out expect an RFC that will hopefully outline how to improve things so that the release process is able to produce higher quality code with less hassle for contributors.

Back to the patch at hand. Like I said, the patch looks safe, however the devil is in the detail as with many seemlingly simply things. As Johannes has pointed out already, there is the question of what happens if TMPDIR="".

So please do revert this patch.

regards,
Lukas

MFB: Fixed bug #48465 (sys_get_temp_dir() possibly inconsistent when using
TMPDIR).

First: I'd like to remind about what Lukas wrote as we planned to
release 5.3.0 with as little source for trouble as possible:

 "If issues are found/fixed please send the patches to
  internals for review."

Others didn't do that either but at least asked for review on IRC or
private mail ...

Would be nice if all could follow a stricter review process till 5.3 is tagged (see the mail Lukas will send in a few minutes to internals, too)

Seondly:

This seems to be broken in case TMPDIR="".
