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.
I created a patch changing '/' with '\\' The with show reported tempdir is then correct. Unfortunately I have only 1 time seen that the tempdir is removed. The other test failed and left the tempdir there. It seems the patch doesn't make any difference.
BTW I now type on the MSWindows environment and ' is the right character. When switching to the syntax editor I get the wrong character with the same key.........
Weird.
Have fun
