What error were you getting when trying to compile the original code?
(I am aware that some systems now print deprecation warnings or even
errors about mktemp(), but I thought Ubuntu was not one of those where
mktemp() was treated as a fatal error.)

I think this is a consequence of your source code change above - perhaps
your code, with the change, tries to create the directory twice.

Dhiru - I think it'd be best to write cleaner C code rather than rewrite
this in Python (as you said you were going to), unless you have a
specific reason for that rewrite (e.g., some needed library only easily
available from Python).

Thanks,
