I have no control over what spatch does, in that I have to manually change directory before invoking spatch to prevent issues. Yes, I can avoid this by being more careful in how I invoke spatch, but that isn't really control of spatch and just a workaround to avoid clashing with itself. I would expect software to make temporary files and directories at other locations, such as how perl provides the mktemp interface, so that files are safe from invocation like this. However, I don't know how easy that is to do for spatch, and the workaround does appear to be fine for my case.
