Well, I don't see anything wrong with the patch itself.  But
looking at the surrounding code I'd say it's pointless.  If
you go and close the file immediately, and re-open it by name
you've just obviated all the benefit of using mkstemp.

Really, that code is so ugly as to be practially unsalvagable.
