I am trying to find out if there has been a fix implemented for this issue and I cannot track one down. This issue is across all our HPUX hosts using Subversion 1.8.5 and apr 1.5.0 and apr_util 1.5.3.
I believe this issue has been persistent on these HPUX hosts for the last few years.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks Mark....
Seems like HP-UX's mktemp() shouldn't be used by APR.
Cross-posting this to apr-dev. I believe it should be addressed
in APR rather than Subversion.
