AST mktemp as plain command. We replaced the machine's native
/usr/bin/mktemp with AST mktemp since GNU coreutils and (especially!)
the Solaris /usr/bin/mktemp are prone to even more collisions (Solaris
mktemp in Solaris 2.6-10 and 11 (Opensolaris didn't have the problem
since it used the ksh93 mktemp) suffers from printing random garbage
in rare occasions, too).

I don't know. I have to ask. I'm just the messenger.
