LYNX-DEV /tmp files?

I've noticed that lynx creates temporary files like this in /tmp:

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          985 Mar 11 15:08 L24915TMP.html

does anyone think that mister or misses root can be downloading an html
file and someone could symlink a bunch of L*TMP.html files to /etc/passwd? 

I haven't looked at the Lynx source all that much to see if it checks, but
if it does, sorry for the e-mail :-)
