reassign 499421 yodl
severity 499421 serious
thanks

Hi,

yodl2xxx has the following snippet, which makes yodl share same file
if the username is the same. This assumption breaks when parallel
build is ran, which results in broken manpages containing parts of
HTML and so on.

This is not a good idea security-wise, since it makes the filename
predictable.  Can't we use one of the tempfile shell calls?



# See if there's a (need to use the) post-processor.
if [ -s ${tmpdir}/yodl-${USER}${unique}.idx ] ; then
    run $YODLPOST ${tmpdir}/yodl-${USER}${unique}.idx \
        ${tmpdir}/yodl-${USER}${unique} $output
else
    chat "No post-processing required for this $FORMAT conversion"
    run mv ${tmpdir}/yodl-${USER}${unique}  $output
fi
