         I would like to present you a minor bug with GNU/PSPP.
     
         We have recently installed PSPP on a unix mainframe. I give you the
     reference of the computer: Sun Microsystems, 8 * UltraSparc IV 64
     bits with operating system: Solaris 2.9.
     
         When PSPP is used with device html with "pspp -o html" there is a
     file created with the following path: /var/tmp/pspp0.png and the owner
     of this file is the user who has sent the command. If this file is
     not deleted no one but root cannot use the command "pspp -o html".
     
          Maybe no one else a used PSPP with a multi users environment... I
     think this could be simply changed, but unfortunately I dont not how.
     I think the created could be located in a directory specific to the
     user for example : /var/tmp/$user/pspp0.png to avoid conflict between 
users.
     Another solution could be giving an orignal name based on time or
     process number.
     
        Thanks in advance for your help.
     
        Yours faithfull
