FileName::tempName() is not thread safe, since the QTemporaryFile object is immediately deleted after creating it. Therefore, another thread could create the same temporary file in the time span before the user of FileName::tempName() recreates it. This is not as theoretical as it may look: I observed that repeated creation and deletion of QTemporaryFile objects always use the same name. This problem is solved by the new class TempFile which should be used like QTemporaryFile itself.
