Description Jarno Huuskonen 2001-04-17 10:52:45 UTC

Nedit uses tmpnam for creating temporary filenames. The file is then
opened with fopen --> tmprace

OpenBSD seems to have a patch for this (replace tmpnam/fopen with
mkstemp/fdopen)

Also I found this little info about from nedit mailinglist archive:
http://www.nedit.org/archives/develop/2001-Feb/0391.html

(Short summary: nedit's incremental save and backup files (.bck) are
created in cwd and nedit follows symlinks.)
