Even with j6t's patch, I'm seeing failures in t5300--pack-object.sh on AIX 5.3

* FAIL 15: survive missing objects/pack directory
fatal: Unable to create temporary file (): No such file or directory

I can confirm this. Your patch is good. I wrapped it up:

-- snip --
From: Mike Ralphson <redacted>
Subject: [PATCH] Fix odb_mkstemp() on AIX

The AIX mkstemp() modifies its template parameter to an empty string if
the call fails.  The existing code had already recomputed the template,
but too late to be good.

See also 6ff6af62, which fixed this problem in a different spot.

Ah, I should have remembered that one.

If my $DAYJOB email address could be used in the From, as per this s-o-b:

Thanks.
