Since posting the patches last night, that changed the "/usr/tmp" path to 
"/tmp" in some source files, a new problem has emerged.

If you do this:
 ktrace mpack -s "Testing" Makefile pauls at utdallsa.edu

It results in this:
|\uffff(\uffff\uffff\uffff\uffff\uffff&(\uffff(: File exists

Ktrace shows this:
 79012 mpack    CALL  open(0x804f060,0xa02,0x1a4)
 79012 mpack    NAMI  "/tmp/mpackCl8rPI"
 79012 mpack    RET   open -1 errno 17 File exists
 79012 mpack    CALL  writev(0x2,0xbfbfcb20,0x4)
 79012 mpack    GIO   fd 2 wrote 31 bytes
       0x0000 7c90 1328 f4d3 bfbf e026 0528 a414 0728  ||..(.....&.(...(|
       0x0010 013a 2046 696c 6520 6578 6973 7473 0a    |.: File exists.|

 79012 mpack    RET   writev 31/0x1f
 79012 mpack    CALL  exit(0x1)

I've looked through the source code, but I'm not sure where the problem is. 
I only see one call to open the file.  Can someone help?
