A possible quick fix could be to append $$:
66:             echo "symlink-name: $2" >/tmp/debug.$$

Note that $$ is semi-predictable, so it's still easily exploitable (look at your
own process ID, make symlinks for the next 100 or so values of $$, and then
launch the exploit as before.

'man 1 mktemp' for a better solution for shell files.
