error when using mkstemp

[Aditya Bhagwat]

Dear all,

I am using octave version 3.2.3, (compiled on Ubuntu 9.04), in an
inferior octave process from within Emacs 23.1 (also compiled on Ubuntu
9.04).

For some reason, I can't get the function 'mkstemp' working properly.
When I enter following command:

        [fid, name, msg] = mkstemp('outputxxxxxx', 1)
 
This is the error message I get:

        octave> [fid,name,msg] = mkstemp('outputxxxxxx', 1)
        fid = -1
        name =
        msg = Invalid argument

The documentation for mkstemp says that the last six characters for
mkstemp must be 'XXXXXX'.
