Hi. I tried to generate a temporary filename using os.tmpname() and I got a bad filename ("\s2u0.").
    Do I need to do anything else to get a temporary filename?
    This happens only in Windows. In Linux it works.

This appears to depend on run-time library lua linked with.
With MinGW I obtained (5 runs):
  \s3us73kd.
  \s3us73kd.1
  \s3us73kd.2
  \s3us73kd.3
  \s3us73kd.4
With Borland's:
  TMP1.$$$
  TMP2.$$$
  TMP3.$$$
  TMP4.$$$
  TMP5.$$$
