Ok, so this is only seen under certain shells.

All of these strings are in dxe3gen.c - there are some defines but I'm
not sure they are used universally, and there are lots of examples of $$dxe
in the code for various temporary files.

I'm on a conection that could be compared to a tin-can and strings, so
I really can't fix it right now.  The old dxe used dxe__tmp.
I would suggest using dxe_tmp? (where ? is one of the many suffixes)
and could probably be done with a #define at the top to make it 
consistent and in a single place.

(I'm in the chemical plant now cycling the optimizer while everyone else
here is celebrating Midsomar).

If somone else doesn't get to it I'll try to do it around 4-Jul or late
July
