Maybe the soltion is to think out of the box. Maybe temporary filestore should be a more official OS service. Race conditions would be far less common if the OS itself was managing the namespace. You might even expand the capability somewhat. Provide process local, uid local and global namespaces. You'd even gain the ability to specify the limits on temporary filestore.
