I've believe I have encountered an issue with my use of tmpnam().

If 2 jobs use tmpnam() at the same timestamp moment, I *think* the same filename is returned (though I don't know how to test this scenario).

I haven't coded to handle this possibility, and end up with two jobs trying to create the same temporary IFS file.

I was thinking that a solution could be just prefix/suffix the job number to the filename returned by tmpnam().

Does that seem like a feasible solution ?
