The spec says
The tmpfile() function shall create a temporary file and open a
corresponding stream. The file shall be automatically deleted when all
references to the file are closed. The file is opened as in fopen() for
update (w+).
If the implementation is such that it tries to create the file in a directory
that the user does not have write permission to, it's a bug.
