Attached patch solves issue for me.
During configure neither HAVE_MKSTEMP nor HAVE_MKSTEMPS got
defined, therefore function openTempFile in /lib/pdf/xpdf/gfile.cc
does not use the randomness of mkstemp.

Jolly good!
To be honest, I'm not sure quite where naievety comes into this?
Of course if anyone out there happens to running ther web server,
PHP(fcgi), and the swftools executables with root privileges and
full write access, then there may just be a few insecure systems
asking to be visited by A. Hacker..
Why do I wish to run several processes of pdf2swf on the same file?
In my app pdf2swf is used to creat very small thumbnail previews and
higher resolution swfs for a pdf viewer, thats why i start pdf2swf twice
on every new pdf input file.
Meanwhile further tests revealed, that the error is not

The question, 'why, would you wish to have several process working on
the same file?', sort of pops into my head.. ;o)
If started immediately after
Well let's not be naive here. Lots of people are using swftools on the
server. If they are having trouble with temporary files there's a
large potential for security issues. Basically always use known secure
systems for creating temporary files. Don't invent your own.

I have a php script to start several processes of pdf2swf working on the

If started immediately after each other, only one process survives, all
others die with Error: Couldn't create temporary font file logged.
It seems to me this is kind of a race condition with faster version
