>Description:
send-pr uses mktemp to safely create temp-files even if unneeded and in some
cases (e.g. send-pr -L) does not remove them.
>How-To-Repeat:
# send-pr -L
Known categories:
[...]
# ls /tmp
/tmp/p.013342aa /tmp/pbad.013246aa /tmp/pf.013508aa
>Fix:
Create temp-files only later in the script so that send-pr -L will not create
any unneeded temp-files.
Apply the following patch to src/gnu/usr.bin/send-pr/send-pr.sh :
# diff -u send-pr.sh.orig send-pr.sh
