Of course, but this wouldn't help either because it would only
make the different temporary files created by *one* instance of
`gpc' unique.  Since `gpc' never creates a file named after the
return value of `mktemp()' (but always appends some suffix),
each new instance of `gpc' will again start with "ccaaaaaa".
