System: NetBSD kafka 9.99.68 NetBSD 9.99.68 (CUSTOM) #0: Tue Jun 23 11:22:56 EEST 2020 jruoho@kafka:/tmp/obj/sys/arch/amd64/compile/CUSTOM amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
The mktemp(3) manual page says: 

"Although the NetBSD mplementation of the functions will accept any number
of trailing ‘X’s [...]".

However, this claim seems to be untrue. Note that the whole mktemp(3) family
of functions is affected.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try mktemp(3) with a template containing, e.g., PATH_MAX of 'X's.
>Fix:
Either fix the implementation or the documentation.
