Description:
------------
If open_basedir is used -- even if it includes /tmp among its
directories -- calling tempnam() with an empty string as the first
(directory) argument does not make PHP fall back to "the system default"
as http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.tempnam.php
specifies.

Reproduce code:
---------------
// open_basedir:
.:/apache/php/lib:/tmp:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/etc/Counter/data:/apache/htdocs/webdev-its

tempnam('', 'test');


Expected result:
----------------
No errors, temporary file gets created in /tmp or whatever the fallback
is.

Actual result:
--------------
From the Apache error log:

Warning: tempnam(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File() is not
within the allowed path(s):
(.:/apache/php/lib:/tmp:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/etc/Counter/data:/apache/htdocs/webdev-its)
in
/apache/htdocs/webdev-its/limesurvey/admin/classes/pear/OLE/PPS/File.php
on line 87
