     US-keyboard, but sometimes software changes it to a dutch keyboard  which
     is hardly used at all.

I wonder if the keyboard switching software is doing something wierd.  Do you 
find that
' gets mutated into ?? in other apps or just in psppire ?

     But they don't. Could it be that the / instead of the \ causes the
     problems? 

It could be.   This code comes from gnulib.  Maybe you could try hacking this 
line:
  sprintf (tmpl, "%.*s/%.*sXXXXXX", (int) dlen, dir, (int) plen, pfx);
at the bottom of gl/tmpdir.c -- if that fixes the problem, then we'll have to 
send a 
patch to the gnulib maintainers.
