BD>> A fix is in CVS which addresses this. And, no, the faked file BD>> would not get deleted. Another thought about the same fix. Why should we _care_ about any variable except the temp file name is overwritten? The script will get wrong data, that's true - but that won't be a "dangarous" wrong data, since no precoditions and no special semantical menaning is given to them. Only data that is important is the filename, since is has special semantical meaning, that's what we should check. The rest user will check by himself.
