Comment (by vbraun):

 Replying to [comment:47 jdemeyer]:
 > Concerning the Sage library patch: why did you change
 `doc/common/builder.py`?

 The new `tmp_filename` and `tmp_dir` create a file/directory (the only
 safe way to deal with temporaries), but the doctest wanted a non-existing
 directory name. Needless to say, a function that returns a not-yet-
 existing filename is just a race condition in the making.
