Re: [PATCH] remove usage of tmpnam() in ssl_unix.c

I see the problem, that the existing "tmpnam" usage may result in an 
endless loop. This unlikely case can occur for instance if /tmp is 
read-only for any reason or 100% full.

src/osdep/unix/ssl_unix.c:

      while ((fd = open (tmpnam (tmp),O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL,0600)) < 0)
        sleep (1);

I think, "errno" of "open" should be considered. The next iteration of 
the while-loop is only usefull, if the path already exists 
(errno=EEXIST: pathname already exists and O_CREAT and O_EXCL were used).
