                             BASH PATCH REPORT
                             =================

Bash-Release: 2.05
Patch-ID: bash205-001

Bug-Reported-by: root@sexorcisto.net
Bug-Reference-ID: <E14mmhG-0006wF-00@sexorcisto.net>

Bug-Description:

bashbug uses mktemp(1) to create a temporary file name for the bug report,
if it exists.  Unfortunately, it uses options not supported by all
implementations, causing bashbug to fail on several types of systems,
including Linux.  This patch allows the bug report template to be created
and edited on Linux systems.  (Along for free is support for $TMPDIR
instead of hardcoding /tmp.)

Patch:
