/* Generate a unique temporary filename using up to five characters of PFX

   as follows: First the environment variable "TMPDIR" is checked.
   If it contains the name of a writable directory, that directory is used.
   If not and if DIR is not NULL, that value is checked.  If that fails,
   P_tmpdir is tried and finally "/tmp".  The storage for the filename
   is allocated by `malloc'.  */
