# the *name* of the test file it tries is the same across all threads
# under most OSes (Linux is an exception), and letting multiple threads
# all try to open, write to, close, and unlink a single file can cause
# a variety of bogus errors (e.g., you cannot unlink a file under
# Windows if anyone has it open, and two threads cannot create the
# same file in O_EXCL mode under Unix). The simplest cure is to serialize
# calls to _gettempdir_inner. This isn't a real expense, because the
# first thread to succeed sets the global tempdir, and all subsequent
# calls to gettempdir() reuse that without trying _gettempdir_inner.
