Hi @jdoerfert

> [Drive by] What about appending the process id or a random number to the file name, or both?

yeah, the patch already does this. The space of PIDs it is not too large (most systems still use 16-bit PIDs) so collisions are not that unlikely. It is just a bit confusing that an OpenMP application fails due to this, sporadically, at startup.

Perhaps the scenario of leftover files is not that common: probably only if the process receives a `SIGKILL`. Most scheduling systems will send `SIGTERM` first and users often use `SIGINT` or `SIGQUIT`.

Kind regards,
