These are not needed for correctness.  In particular, the latter is
only used if mktemp -d is not supported, and the former is created in
the current directory so it is not insecure (I'll change it to use
mktemp -d as well, but it will need a fallback too so it will still
use $RANDOM).

Can this be made WONTFIX?
