Ah, I see.  Thanks.  Patch attached.

I see.  So, I'd guess, `gamegrid-add-score-w-u-g-s' should first
check wether its FILE argument is an absolute filename and use
`gamegrid-add-score-insecure' if it is.  I added this.

Unfortunately I have no Emacs 21.2 lying around anymore.  I wonder if
gamegrid did something in the past to make sure that the score files
in this system wide tmp directory were world-writeable?
