Bug description:  tempnam() changes to %TEMP% instead of returning false

Description:
------------
I wanted to check, how tempnam() handles file system limits.
On NTFS, just 65535 files per directory are allowed.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// Keep script alive
ignore_user_abort(1);
@set_time_limit(0);

$dir = 'C:\Test';
(if (!file_exists($dir))
{
	// Create Test directory
	mkdir($dir, null, true);
}

$i = 0;
while (tempnam($dir, 'Foobar'))
{
	$i++;
}

printf('%u files created', $i);

Expected result:
----------------
The script should stop, because tempnam() should return "false".
The function should return "false", because when 65535 files are in the 
specified directory, you reached a limit and aren't able to write to 
C:\Test anymore.

Actual result:
--------------
The script will keep running.
After the 65535. file is created in C:\Test, the function will ignore 
the specified directory and switch to %temp% (which is usually 
C:\Windows\Temp).
