it seems that appending a PID number is a wrong idea. users should not
do this, since it is documented that the name of the fls file will be
derived from the base name of the input file. so this scenario is not a
race.
ok, i see that appending PID was about the

As can bee seen both tex/pdftex first use intermediate temporary

So the problem here is that when I try to compile both 1.tex and
2.tex _simultaneously_ (e.g. through make -j2) there
Hi Vladimir,
You are surely right that other filename-related race conditions exist,
and that adding the pid to the temp file for fls is merely a palliative,
not a fix. However, since that's the case that was reported, and since
it was easy to do, it seemed worth doing. That's all.
Thanks,
Karl,

but I wonder, why use intermediate file for recorder at all? Why not to
open $(jobname).fls in the first place?
Don't want to overwrite the file from a previous run, I suppose.
I'm not enthused about using mkstemp (and providing a fallback), but
perhaps we can add the pid to the temp

I also wonder if there are situations where the jobname is not yet

Certainly a bad idea. People expect that it provides information
