This I don't understand. The GNAT run time is calling functions
in the C library. If you say security problems do not exist in the
C library, why are they present in Ada?
Of course, the bug (race condition) in temporary file creation should
be fixed, just like any other bug that we find. I don't see anything
magical about it though.
