  * Typo in the ftpext class
  * Safe mode kicks in and prevents opening of the file if its using /tmp/

 Errors like this:
 {{{
 Warning: fopen(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is
 10205 is not allowed to
 access /tmp/wpupdateWI7gv2 owned by uid 48 in
 /var/www/vhosts/.../httpdocs/wp-
 admin/includes/file.php on line 206
 Warning: fopen(/tmp/wpupdateWI7gv2): failed to open stream: Permission
 denied in
 /var/www/vhosts/.../httpdocs/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 206
 }}}

 This will cause the pdate page to read as "Download Failed" because its
 failed to find a useable directory.

 In cases like that, The blog owner can define {{{WP_TEMP_DIR}}} to point
 to a directory where PHP CAN write files. (Note: It checks to see if it
 can write to /wp-content/ and uses that before it relies on the systems
 directory, or /tmp/)
