You remember this?

Luke added it years ago.
A nice person asked me to review it finally.
So I did.
The code wasn't critical anymore anyway, as the directory
is now created in a root-writable space anyway. But it
should be safe enough anyway also.
If anybody considers moving this back to /tmp or somesuch,
let me know, so I review it for harder security. But
there's no point in doing so IMHO.
