b20: problems in tempnam

Mon Nov 30 10:45:00 GMT 1998

I have seen this problem before in another runtime lib I was porting what
seemed to fix it for me was to give tempnam a second arg which is the
prefix to the temp file. For some reason the implementation of tempnam
under cygwin is unable to take a null argument.
Good luck,
Leif Jackson
