Please make sure this doesn't have race conditions when using /tmp or
TMPDIR.

Maybe use O_EXCL (with open(2)) when creating, but that may not be good
enough for some network-based filesystems.

And don't use 666 for creating the file. If I overlooked or misunderstood
something, please let us know.
