 I noticed that Wordpress is using the tmpfile() function which does not
 regard the upload_tmp_dir value. It would be better to use tempnam()
 instead, to which the tmp-path can be passed.

 these 3 files on my system make use of the tmpfile function:

 {{{
 info.php
 wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php
 wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/spellchecker/classes/PSpellShell.php
 }}}

 I am a shared host and normally customers have their own tmp folder but
 tmpfile always writes to /tmp/ on *nix systems, so I have to give
 wordpress users more permissions than usual.
