I hope I'm doing the right thing by re-opening this rather than 
copening a bug report...

I'm seeing a very odd failure in test_tempfile on FreeBSD 4.4.

The failure occurs when I run the full regression test with 
TESTOPTS="-l -u network" but succeeds when TESTOPTS="-
l".

./python -E -tt Lib/test/regrtest.py -l -u network test_tempfile
succeeds too, as does:
./python -E -tt Lib/test/regrtest.py -v -u network test_tempfile

At this point, I haven't tried other -u option combinations.

The error log shows:
test test_tempfile failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/andymac/cvs/python/python-
cvs/Lib/test/test_tempfile.py", line 345, in test_noinherit
    "child process exited successfully")
  File "/home/andymac/cvs/python/python-
cvs/Lib/unittest.py", line 268, in failUnless
    if not expr: raise self.failureException, msg
AssertionError: child process exited successfully 

Unfortunately Real Job has wiped out any time I might have 
had to try and debug this, and I won't have much if any time 
to look at this for about 3 weeks :-(

Intuitive guesses about where to start looking would be 
welcome!

The OS/2 EMX port has the mkstemped problem noted below 
for HP-UX, but I think I might not have picked up the fixes 
when I tested, so I'll have to check that again.
