Follow-up Comment #4:

Well, that's unfortunate.

I see that in some logs I saved from earlier tests I ran on your system last
year, looks like that was the case at the time and I did not catch it or
report it as a bug then.

Can you run octave-cli in a debugger and see why tempname is returning an
empty string? The underlying function does return an error message string, but
it looks like Octave ignores it along the stack so there is no way to tell
from the interpreter. It would be best to be testing this with the development
version, or at least 4.2.0, but it generally looks like not much has changed
with this function since 4.0 other than some code refactoring.
