If you can't reproduce the error, and if it was "inconsistent", then you have to assume it had something to do with the way the server was running it. Maybe server load? Maybe you had a different test script running last night, and this morning with a rested mind, you have the right script running? Maybe you ran the cgi script twice, before the /tmp/directory was cleaned, and IM was trying not to overwrite a file, by automatically renaming it? Your script runs fine here.

I run into the same thing when I code on a Sunday..... scripts just start running weird....then on Monday they work fine. ???? I can only conclude that I was mis-hitting keys and was cross-eyed on Sunday, and too tired to realize it.

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum
