At the moment, that's the only remaining code fix that I have on my list -
I did check/see that it's never worked properly (2.7.2, 2.8, 2.8.1), so
it may take some study to fix properly.
(my pre.8 patch contains as much as I know to fix for David Eaton's
problem without further feedback).

there's some remnants of that - but iirc, it doesn't mesh well with the
checks to ensure that a temporary file's not been compromised in some way.
