*** This bug has been split off bug 144695 ***

Two insecure temporary file vulns have been reported to the debian BTS.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=289560

The issues refer to the usage of temporary files using the process PID as the
"randomness".  I would not be surprised if this isn't the only scripts in vim
that do this.
