It's a bug in newlib's tempnam_r implementations (called by tempnam),
where a NULL second arg causes a segmentation violation. I'll send
a fix to cygwin folks. Newlib has quite a few of these bugs, so please
keep on sending in the bug reports (preferably with test cases as this
so we can fix these).
