 * file.  Return the file descriptor, or -1 if unable to create such
 * a file.  The buffer `name' is used to hold the file name (so that
 * if this returns -1, it is useful for error messages).
 *
 * We use the despicable trick of unlinking an open temporary file.
 * The alternatives are too painful.  If it becomes necessary to
 * do this another way, however, here is a method suggested by Fred
 * Blonder: fork, and have the parent wait for the child to exit.
 * (The parent must avoid being killed during this phase.)  When
 * the child exits, the parent should then remove the temporary file,
 * then exit with the same status, or send itself the same signal.
