[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #50183] tempname() returns an empty string on Solaris

[Michele]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #50183 (project octave):

"Can you run octave-cli in a debugger and see why tempname is returning an
empty string?"

Possibly - if I knew how to do that.  I tried this (not sure if this is what
you meant) and stopped:  I am (clearly) a gdb novice.
