I hope I am not causing a lot of trouble by the space of the ECLINIT files I
create -- incidentally they should all get deleted unless weird conditions
happen (for instance, a crash, failure to load a file, etc)

As for the problem that you are reporting I think this was perfectly spotted
by the guy who submitted this bug report

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=398053&aid=2999335&group_id=30035

Apparently the OpenGroup allows mkstemp() to create names with dots (!).
That is bad because then ECL interprets whatever comes after the dot as a
filename extension and discards it. This happens 1 out of 48 files (Sun's
system is simply rotating names) and that causes the name collision. I will
look for possible solutions that do not involve foregoing mkstemp(),
