tmpnam(0)

[jle]

On a HP Visualize system running HPUX 10.20,
using gcc-2.95.2 or gcc-2.95.3, ddd crashes due
a call to tmpnam(0) returning NULL

File : comm-manag.C
Line: info->tempfile = tmpnam(0);

This is due to the fact I force C++ compiler to "g++ -threads"

In multithreaded mode a call to tmpnam(0) (on HP !)
does not operate and returns NULL !! (so says HP doc on tmpnam)

To circonvene the bug, use:

char buf[2048];

.... tmpnam(buf)...

Other ddd features are potentially affected - see in:

PlotAgent,
comm-manag.C
ddd.C
exit.C
plotter.C
print.C
show.C
