/* 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'. */
