Not in the short term. However, I have drafted the following comment
to be put into the next version of 'patch', if only to cut down on
unnecessary bug reports.
/* It is OK to use mktemp here, since the rest of the code always
opens temp files with O_EXCL. It might be better to use mkstemp
to avoid some DoS problems, but simply substituting mkstemp for
mktemp here will not fix the DoS problems; a more extensive
change would be needed. */
