Comment:

 I've attached two possible fixes, a minimally invasive one and another
 that removes the loop and relies entirely on mkstemp().
 Personally I prefer the second one as it eliminates the possibility of
 triggering bugs on rare occasions (i.e. only if there are already more
 than ten checked-out copies of the entry lying around).
