Bogus tempfile names in beta18

Bogus tempfile names in beta18

[Vinnie Shelton]

This bug has been around for awhile.  Someone (Peter?) sent a fix, but I 
foolishly discarded it, assuming that fix would be incorporated in beta18.  
Basically, the bug is that filenames for =() substitution are not unique.  Eg:

: zsh-2.6-beta18/SunOS Wed 22 11:02; Src/zsh -f
spacely% echo $ZSH_VERSION
2.6-beta18
spacely% uname -a 
SunOS spacely 4.1.3_U1 2 sun4m
spacely% echo =(ls /tmp) =(ls)
/tmp/zsha19197 /tmp/zshb19197

If one were to diff those (supposedly) two files, they would apparently be the 
same, even though they should be different.

Oops.  Sorry about that.  The first time I ran the test, I did it under
beta17, and then when I ran my test script under beta18, I just did
a visual inspection on the filenames.

My apologies,

Yes, it was Peter. You can always get it back from the archive:

  X-Mailing-List: <zsh-workers@math.gatech.edu> archive/latest/1061

But it *is* apparently already in b18:

  $ patch < ~/tmp/keep1d/b18p2
  ...
  Patching file Src/exec.c using Plan A...
  Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [y] n
  Apply anyway? [n]        

though the bug persists:

  $ echo $ZSH_VERSION
  2.6-beta18
  $ print =(cat ~/.zshrc) =(cat ~/.zshenv)
  /tmp/zsha000MD /tmp/zshb000MD

Uhm, apparently we both need to see an optometrist :-). Those
filenames are different, of course.

Sorry. Please disregard my previous mail.
