Modified files:
lib/libc/stdio mktemp.c
Log:
Increase the size of the mktemp() filename space by dropping the PID from
the encoding and using the character set [a-zA-Z0-9]. This gives a total
of 62^6 = 56800235584 possible temporary filenames for the usual default
invocation of 6 X's (compared to as few as 52 possibilities for the
previous algorithm where up to 5 characters were wasted by the PID).
Update some apparently bitrotten comments to reflect reality.
