/* Generate a unique temporary filename using up to five characters of
PFX if it is not NULL. The directory to put this file in is
searched for as follows: First the environment variable "TMPDIR" is
checked. If it contains the name of a 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'. */
