rcs2log

[Morten Welinder <terra () diku dk>]

I have been sitting on this one for half a year.  Time to disclose
it.

rcs2log uses files in /tmp insecurely.

This was reported to the Emacs maintainers an aeon or two ago.
Current preleases have a fix.  (And have had it for at least half
a year.)

NOTE NOTE NOTE: there seem to be quite a few sources for rcs2log
out there.  A SuSE 6.3 (I think) seems to install three different
versions in four different spots.
