Bug: svn: E000002: Can't create temporary file from template '/tmp/svn-XXXXXX': No such file or directory

OS: HP-UX

SVN: svn, version 1.7.6 (r1370777) compiled Aug 20 2012, 15:40:19

SVN are download from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/
HP-UX mktemp man page
http://docstore.mik.ua/manuals/hp-ux/en/B2355-60130/mktemp.3C.html

When I tried to perform a commit with HP-UX svn client, I received the
following error:

svn: E000002: Can't create temporary file from template '/tmp/svn-XXXXXX':
No such file or directory

svn: E000002: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:

svn: E000002: '/home/nginhui/svn-commit.2.tmp'

After some investigation into SVN 1.7.6 and APR source code, I noticed:

SVN client: io.c:4036 - temp_file_create function call apr_file_mktemp with
flag set to not delete when close

APR: mktemp.c:190 - apr_file_mktemp function call Unix mktemp

It seems the problem due to mktemp HP-UX open file with the following format
(base on template "svn-XXXXXX") svn-[a-z]<PID> .

For instance:

PID= 23451, first call to mktemp you will have a temp file open as
/tmp/svn-a23451 the next call to mktemp will result in /tmp/svn-b23451 and
so on, eventually it will reach z (26 files later), it simple exit with
error since it run out of character

What I am not sure is if this is a bug in SVN or APR, shouldn't SVN client
set the flag to delete the temp file as soon as it is close? On the other
hands, APR should have use tmpfile function instead of mktemp or the
internally implementation gettemp.

Edwin
